8 weeks and 4 days Ultrasound

So happy to see our baby again in 8 weeks and 4 days. So tiny, So cute but most amazing is watching our baby's heart beating. Makes my day so wonderful and the most happiest one. I always pray every night that my baby will always STRONG, HEALTHY and COMPLETE! Can't wait to see my baby's face for the next succeeding ultrasound. I love you Baby!

My Tummy at 8 weeks

Looks big huh? haha yes aside from I'm an overweight mom to be, people constantly says that my tummy get bigger so quick... maybe because I always eat a lot now a days.. but as as soon i finished my 1st trimester i need to control my food intake. Go for Normal Delivery of course.. =') Usually doctors, ob said during 1st trimester you don't need to control your food intake but just lessen sweets, fatty and salty foods.

Specially in my case, I'm diagnosed as PCOS, usually women who diagnosed PCOS are prone for gestational diabetes (scary, right?!) but sometimes I can't resist just to release my cravings I sometimes eat a little bite of chocolates.... My Bad!! Sssshh!! =')

During pregnancy they also says that we are prone to  have  UTI ( Urinary Track Infection) So lessen the salty foods. But Again, my bad, during my first week I always love to eat Green Mango with Bagoong!! ='( but of course I drink a lot of water after that.

Another one, during pregnancy women are commonly experienced constipation. They said because of some changes that happening inside our body and womb. OB's usually advise to add the water intake and fruits that are high in fiber.

'Till the next update of my tummy. I hope all mom to be are always safe as well as the baby.

GOODLUCK!! Happy New Year!!

Baby's Development at 7 Weeks

Hi readers and viewers. Today November 29, 2011, I'm on my 7 weeks tummy. My lower abdomen may be shown some signs that I'm pregnant but more of my tummy haha because I'm kinda overweight girls. =') My Hubby always find a joke like, "Baby is still small but your tummy is already big!! haha! Crazy DH.

Here are the development of Baby during 7 weeks. I found it again on the net.

Your 7th Week of Pregnancy The First Trimester

Your Body - 7 Weeks Pregnant This week your baby is undergoing some extraordinary changes and developments. The head, heart, spinal cord, and some of the larger blood vessels begin to form. As these blood vessels form, the heart begins to pump fluid through them, and your baby's first red blood cells are created. Your baby is about 7 - 9 mm or 0.27 - 0.35 inches in length, (approximately the size of a grain of rice), and weighs about 1/30 of an ounce - less than a breath mint. Your baby's brain, bladder, tongue and esophagus are all developing and transforming, while his eyes are moving to the front of the face and his tiny eyelids are forming. The bones of his tiny limbs have started to form and all of your baby's major organs - heart, intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas -- are forming and growing. In fact, your baby actually goes through 3 sets of kidneys during development with this week's development, being the second set. Both the hand plates and the genital tubercle are present this week, but you can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl by sight at this point. Nasal pits are also forming. In your womb, your baby has already become active swimming around inside the amniotic sac and kicking. However, as he's much too small and well-cushioned by the uterus and the new amniotic fluid you won't be able to feel him yet. But don't worry. In a few months you'll be able to feel him constantly. Your Body - 7 Weeks Pregnant If you've ever had facial breakouts or acne, I'm sorry to say that you may get to experience this again. Due to the hormonal changes in your body, you may end up with a few breakouts over the next few weeks. It's okay though. Using a good, gentle facial cleanser and hypoallergenic make-up will keep these to a minimum, and these breakouts will go away either when you enter your second trimester or when you deliver. You may have either gained or lost a few pounds, but are not showing yet. The good news? Your pregnancy symptoms may start to decrease. While the heartburn, morning sickness and breast tenderness may continue, the backaches and headaches usually do subside at least a little after this week. Early Pregnancy Questions Babies Online Members in their 7th week of pregnancy have commonly asked the following questions: What foods are not safe to eat during pregnancy? What are the most common symptoms of pregnancy? Could I be having twins? When will I feel my baby move? What is Fundal Height? How is it measured?

First Heart Beat of my precious baby

I supposed to have my repeat ultrasound on Saturday November 26, 2011. But unfortunately I can wait till I know that may baby is ok and really healthy in my womb. I don't know how much I prayed hard while lying on the clinic for my TVS. and when the sonologist came in and asking some few questions. Then she turn the monitor on my side so I will able to see it.

Amazing I can see the Embryo now and something is keep popping or a little movement and the sonologist said  it's baby's heartbeat. Oh Em Gee. I was so happy that I almost got my self in tears. Now, finally I would feel great more than ever. My worries are covered with happiness and joyful in my Heart. This coming Christmas is the more memorable Christmas for me and for my DH.

I love you baby. Please stay strong and be more healthy. Mama and Papa will take good care of you no matter what. Although baby's heartbeat still in 105bpm the sonologist said it is still ok because the baby is still young. Base on the size i'm on my 6 weeks and 2 days but from my LMP im & 7 weeks and 1 day. I hope next time I will able to listen to my baby's heartbeat.

Be back after 2 weeks again for Development of cardiac activity. WE LOVE YOU BABY!!!!

Your Baby at 6 Weeks Pregnant

You're not showing yet at 6 weeks pregnant, but your little baby is growing strong. At pregnancy week 6, your baby may measure around 0.25 inches, or approximately 6mm. You can compare you baby's overall size to the size of a Sesame seed! 

At 6 weeks pregnant, the average fetal heartbeat is between 100 and 140 beats per minute. Blood may start circulating throughout your baby's body this week. Your doctor or healthcare provider may be able to see the first heartbeats using an ultrasound, though it may still be a few weeks before the heartbeat is detectable via a Doppler device. 

Your baby's face is developing at 6 weeks pregnant. Dark spots (which will eventually become his or her eyes) have formed on the side of the head, and there are small pits on the side of your baby's head where the ears will develop. 

At 6 weeks pregnant, your baby's placenta is developing and won't be ready to take over its role for a few more weeks. Until the placenta is mature enough, the yolk sac (a balloon-like structure that is as big as your baby) is providing your baby with his or her nourishment. The yolk sac will start to disappear completely when the placenta is ready – around 9 or 10 weeks of gestation. 

At this point in fetal development, your baby's hands and feet are connected with a layer of webbing. They don't be separate and distinct for several more weeks. 

By 6 weeks pregnant, your little one has a curved "tail," which makes him or her look like a tadpole. This "tail" will eventually form the spinal column, and it will disappear once the spine straightens. 

From pregnancy week 6 onward, your baby is undergoing dramatic change. He or she is developing all of his or her major organs (heart, lungs, brains, liver, stomach, etc.). 

First Heartbeat During Pregnancy
At 6 weeks pregnant, your baby's little heart is beating strong - 100 to 140 beats/minute. (Your baby's heart first started beating at 5 weeks pregnant). However, since your little bundle of joy is so small right now, your doctor or caregiver won't be able to pick up the first fetal heartbeat and let you hear it with a Doppler ultrasound for a few more weeks. 

For most women, they don't hear their baby's heartbeat for the first time until 12 weeks pregnant. But if you have a transvaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks, you should be able to see your baby's heartbeating.

Fish.. Big No No during pregnancy?!

As soon as  I have heard that I'm Pregnant I was so busy checking what are the do's and don'ts while looking at the internet I saw some article that some of Fish are not allowed to eat during pregnancy because of High in Mercury content. I was kinda shock because as far as i know fish is more healthy than pork or any kind of meat. So I search and try to look a lot of details regarding this matter. So from then on, I started not to eat any fish for I'm so afraid that may affect my baby inside, so i was thinking instead of checking what are the fish i can eat and i cant i'd rather not to fish at all as this time. :) but when I ask my OB if there any kind of fish seafood that is not allowed to eat she simply answer my question like " NO, not at all!" so whom I will believe in? my Ob or a lot of article that I read about this. Confused. 

I found this:

Pregnant women should be allowed to eat more fish 

By Richard Gray, Science Correspondent

7:30AM BST 30 May 2010

Pregnant women should be encouraged by the Government to eat at least two portions of fish a week to reduce the risk of their children developing brain disorders, a group of leading nutrition experts have claimed.

The nutritionists fear that current official advice to women, which recommends they eat no more than two portions of fish a week, is leading to an increase in brain disorders.

They say recent research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, known as docosahexaenoic acid, are essential for the brain to function properly and current Government advice is insufficient to provide women and their children with enough.

The researchers are to appeal to the Food Standards Agency and the Government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in an open letter asking the two bodies to revise their advice.

They believe that women should be eating at least three portions of fish a week.

Fish consumption among women of child bearing age and girls is currently restricted due to concerns about the presence of potentially harmful contaminants in fish such as dioxins and methylmercury.
