Last January 4, marks my 37 weeks of
pregnancy or almost “full term”. Wohooo.. Meaning anytime pwede ng lumabas si
Baby Rhian. My body starts preparing for labor and I am unaware of what’s going
on inside my tummy. This is my first check-up for 2014 and we are so excited to
know the condition of our little princess.

We arrived at Makati Med around 3:30pm and
there are long queues in the clinic, in demand si Doc eh. We waited for about
an hour before my turn, so while waiting my husband took our pictures together.
Pantangal inip lang. Hehe.
The nurse called my name, gets my weight and bp then told me lie down for my first IE. Sobrang kinabahan ako, 1st time kong magpapa IE and malalaman kung ilan cm dilated na ko. Sharing with you my conversation with my OB.
OB –
Hi Rackell, How are you? Kelan ka ulit manganganak?
Me –
Hi Doc, I’m fine. January 26-Feb 1 po.
OB – 37 weeks ka na, musta galaw ni baby?
Me – Ay doc, super likot ni baby sobra.
OB – Okay let me check her heart beat.
When my OB checks for my baby’s heartbeat, I saw
her face na parang alangan sya. So she keeps on pressing my tummy, I’m so
worried that time, so our conversation continues.
OB – Narinig ko na heartbeat no baby, pero gusto
ko marinig yung “tugtugtug”.
Me – Po? Kanina po sobrang likot nya, kumain pa
nga po ako ng chocolates eh para maging active si baby.
OB – Humihina heartbeat ni baby, so after nito punta
kayo sa DR for NST.
By that time, I’m so worried as in kinakabahan ako
na di ko maintindihan. So many questions bugging on my mind, wala naman akong
ginawang kakaiba para humina heartbeat ni baby. So I close my eyes and pray for
a minute that everything will be fine.
OB – Your Baby's Heartbeat 100 – 110bpm
Me – (worried) :((
My OB started to do the IE, super duper sakit nya
promise although according to my friends di naman daw masakit pero iba talaga
nung ginawa na sakin. Waahhh… My OB told me to relax but I can’t, masakit eh
talaga, until she said that I am already 1cm dilated. Right after my weekly
check-up, Ian and I went to the delivery room for NST, that very moment we’re
so scared I don’t know what’s going on inside my tummy. Alam ko and ramdam ko
mga galaw ni baby pero bakit bumaba heart beat nya?! So many questions and I
need an immediate answer! So inside the monitoring room, 2 nurses assist me and
told me that the test will last for 45minutes
to 1 hour to monitor my baby’s heart beat and the contractions. Thank God,
during the test super nagpakitang gilas si baby, sinabayan ko ng prayers and
kinausap ko sya ng bongga. After an hour, the doctor called my OB and update
about my status, buti naman at pinauwi rin kami agad. She instructed me to just
relax, walk and walk and walk. O db, need ko daw matagtag para mapabilis yung
paglabas ni baby.
That very moment, I realized na once kinabahan ako
or na stress, super affected si baby. As I call my mom, I can’t stop crying
sabi nga ni ian bakit daw ako umiiyak e okay naman si baby. But I told him na I felt guilty kc kung hindi ako kinabahan sa IE, di ma stress si baby and di
bababa heart beat nya, now I promise to myself na when the time na gusto na ni
baby lumabas from my womb, I need to relax and stay calm para healthy and di
stress si baby.
Baby Rhian, I’m so sorry. I promise that mommy
will be strong for you. Just keep on holding ha, malalagpasan rin natin to. We’re
so excited to see you, I know you will be here when you’re ready. I love you
very much baby.
