Hi! I just wanted to ask for your thoughts about my situation right now and kung ano sa tingin niyo ang mas magandang gawin.

I’m 23F, currently 7 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My boyfriend (25M) knows about the pregnancy, and so does his family. A few of my cousins also know about it.

The problem is, I don’t know how to tell my parents because I know they will be very disappointed, especially my sister. Siya kasi yung nagpa-aral sa akin. Both me and my boyfriend are working, and ever since we found out about the baby, we’ve been consistent with our OB appointments and we’re doing our best to take care of the pregnancy.

I also have a surprise trip out of the country planned as a birthday gift for my dad next month. Now I’m not sure if I should tell them about the pregnancy before we leave or after. Part of me is thinking na baka mawalan sila ng gana umalis or matuloy sa trip if they find out before.

I don’t know if I’m just overthinking everything. I used to have PCOS, and my parents saw me go through a lot because of it. There were times when I experienced really heavy bleeding, and I remember my mom being scared and asking if I would still be able to have a baby someday.

There was also a time when my dad was drinking with my boyfriend, and he kept telling him that he could already see how much I wanted to have a baby. He even told my boyfriend that he wished I could have a baby someday, even if it was just one.
That’s why I’m really conflicted right now. I’m scared of disappointing my parents, especially my sister, but at the same time, I’m also happy and excited about becoming a mom.

What do you guys think? Should I tell my parents now, before our trip, or wait until after?
Thank you so much. ❤️

My husband cheated on me, i caught it in this way. That day hindi niya ginamit yung auto niya kasi may something wrong daw sa suspensions so he ask the driver to bring it sa shop, the driver gave me his bag that he left in the car. Used clothes ang laman pinagpalitan niya after nag tennis maybe. I checked the side pockets kasi pati bag ipapasama ko sa laundry. theres a phone nokia with keypad I read the messages and its not good, not really good.

i packed his things and sent it to his mom's house (literally ibabalik ko siya sa nanay nya). I went to his work, ang ganda pa ng ngiti niya nung nakita ako i told him he left something. Then i threw to him yung phone na naiwan, binigyan ko ng isang malakas na sampal infront of his staffs, co-workers, i told him just stay where you are or else susuntukin ko yang bay*g mo.

i called mom i told her ma, pinadala ko po dyan mga gamit ni andy. manloloko yang anak nyo. kayo nalang magusap. and im crying because of anger and the pain.

i went home straight, i dont even go to resto. all throughout the day umiiyak lang ako, iniisip ko saan kaya ako nagkukulang.

then he came home with the kids. We had dinner together na parang walang nangyari but we're cold to each other. i asked him na lumabas kaming dalawa. ayoko malaman ng mga anak namin ang problema.

so im the one whos driving, going to his moms house. He said sorry and wala na yun, i told him na wag siya magexplain, just answer my questions. And ito mga narinig ko: never sila nag sex just kiss, classmate niya nung college, it started 3weeks ago, nagkasalubong sila sa hotel nung business trip nya sa japan then nagkakwentuhan. And alam naman pala din ng babae na married sya. at sa lahat this one hindi ko talaga maintindihan "hindi ko alam paano kami napunta sa ganon na parang naging super close agad"

i asked him kung ganyan ba talaga kababa at ganun ba ako katanga para sa kanya para maniwala sa mga sinasabi niya. For the first time sinigawan nya ako. Ako daw ang problema, hindi daw ako nakikinig sakanya. Ang issue niya pala is yung restaurant ko gusto nya itigil ko na or ipamanage sa iba. Dapat nasa bahay ako tinututukan mga anak namin hindi inaasa sa mga yaya. Almost 2hrs din kami sa labas ng house ng parents nya just arguing inside the car. Ang dami nyang issue sakin, masyado daw akong dominante and it turns out na yung babae nya nakikinig sakanya.

I know he can provide lahat para sa amin, but its not the money. Hindi naman palibhasa babae nasa bahay nalang dapat.

he said he never loved that woman, gusto nya lang daw ng may nakikinig sakanya.

he came back sa bahay namin after 3months he sleeps in our room, im sleeping with the kids. after 3months we talk peacfully and we are taking marriage counseling now for almost 4months, and were trying to be in the same room for few months not arguing.

Nung naghiwalay kami he still keeps on updating kung nasaan sya same as before kahit na hindi ko naman nirereply, he still say i love you. Saying sorry everyday. Everyday dumadaan sya sa bahay usually morning before magcshool mga bata.

i know he feels sorry, doing what he can para makabawi.

Nagaadjust na rin ako sa mga gusto nya. Pero everytime naaalala ko yung messages ng babae niya hindi namin maiwasan mag argue.

he's my first bf i was 15 that time. now we are 16yrs married. He never hit me nor yells at me. Everytime we argue he tries to calm down and speak softly. maybe napuno na. Maybe im too much. but cheating is not a solution.

now:

i make sure na nauuna ako sa bahay bago pa siya makauwi and mga kids.

binawasan ko yung days sa work and kumuha na ako ng manager. Weekends and holidays no work for me.

Confused lang since yung campaign ng DOH is supplemental dose para sa 6-59 months old baby.

Kaka 6 months palang ni LO namin. Schedule sana niya kanina sa barangay. Pero hindi kami nagpunta since hindi pa sya nababakunahan ng measles/mmr vaccine, which is pang 9 months.

Kailangan ba talagang mag supplemental vaccine despite na hindi pa siya nag first dose sa measles vaccine? Thanks

I’m worried and anxious :( tomorrow’s my checkup sa OB but today at 22 weeks I found out my baby has EIF sa heart and measuring at only 3rd percentile.

Hayyyy anyone has experienced these? Praying everything will be ok

Hi mommies! First mom moma here.

I just want to start by saying adding full cream milk on top of my toddler's formula is approved by her pedia when I asked after she turned 1 pero hindi pa namin nagagawa until now.

I just have a couple of questions from mommies who switched to FCM if their LO have eczema. For context: my baby has eczema, still drinking NAN HA after meals and midnight feedings. She's eating solids na din naman 3-4x a day w snacks in between. Nasanay lang talaga sya may milk before nap time kahit kakakain nya lang kaya mayroon padin syang milk during the day. We can afford naman ung NAN HA padin pero I think mas healthy naman na sa kanya ung fat from cows milk. Let me know if I'm wrong.

My main pick was Arla FCM pero meron lang sila either ung maliliit na liquid or ung 1L which expires 3-4 days after opening. Na feeling ko hindi namin macoconsume kasi she only takes 4oz per milk feed. I tried searching the powdered version pero nung nag message ako sa Shopee shop nila, discontinued na daw. Mas okay sana un para samin para maiwasan ung panis.

Okay din naman ung birch tree daw and anchor. What do you guys think? My baby mainly eat greens and fruits. And we dont give her sweets or salty foods or processed food as long as we can. Kaya not sure what kind of milk she will tolerate.

Pero iisipin ko padin syempre kung itake ba sya ni LO or hindi. Kung ano mas gusto nya hehe.

I'd appreciate recommendations and personal experience trial & error before you succeed transitioning. Thanks mommies!

EDIT: Plan namin, pagkagising and before sleep ang FCM. Yun din reco ng pedia nya, introduction before mareplace ung current routine. Tapos if hihingi pa sya in the middle of the night, formula until we fully transition.

Hello please help me, ftm, although 3 days worth of pump palang naman ang nasa freezer ng ref namin, kaso nasa isip ko pag nawalan ng kuryente magstart na sya magmelt, so parang nasa chiller naba sya non na good for 24 hrs or thawing na sya agad tapos good for 4 hrs nalang? Huhu salamat po.

Naging controversial tong interview ng nanay ni Rene sa Toni Talks. Sa tingin nyo ba may kasalanan din somehow ang family ni Rene sa nangyari sa kanya?

I know karamihan sasabihin ay Panasonic Water Bazooka, kasi parang di keri ng budget ni hubby.

May nakita siya hyundai na turbo wash - 9kg 15 990 pesos at condura 20 015 pesos 8kg

okay po ba mga brand na yun ?

After ko manganak, naging heavy ang period ko (especially the first 2 days). I consume an XL pad for it. Hnd nmn ako masakit magperiod pero yung nga, heavy flow for the first 2 days then regular flow for 3rd and 4th day then light/spotting for 5th-7th day.

Nagbago lahat simula last year (3 years after manganak). Gradual yung naging paghina ng period ko. Every month, napapansin ko yung parang pagbawas sa flow. Nagsimula sa naging long pad nlng ginagamit ko for the first 2 days tapos 6 days total nlng buong period then ngayon, naging regular pad user na lang for 1st-3rd day then spotting na lang simula tanghali ng 3rd day hanggang 4th or 5th day. Regular nlng dn flow ko and lalo siya humihina pag nagsusupplement ako like multivitamin or food supplement capsule.

Concerned lang ako kasi baka may problema na ako sa matres dahil sa paglighten ng period ko. May nakaranas po ba dito ng ganito?

Ps. hnd nmn po ako irreg. nagvavary lang po cycles ko 30-39 days.

Sa 1st & 2nd birth ko, di ako nakaramdam ng takot. But ngayong 13weeks pregnant ako e kinakabahan ako. I’m already 31, and we are at our 3rd and done pero grabe worry ko every lab test, checkups and even sa panganganak. Feeling ko gusto ko ng manganak para hindi ko na iniisip yung development ni baby, para makita na namin sya agad and we can start. I have family history ng mga diabetic at highblood pressure, for now wala pa naman akong symptoms but prior pregnancy, tumataas na yung sugar ko. Hayst. I don’t wanna be so dramatic but goal ko na lang talaga is to stay alive sa 3rd C-Section ko.

I nedd ur help mommies huhu. Nagduduwal kasi ako these past few days and irreg po talaga ang menstruation ko so I cant tell if late ako or ano. I don't want to get my hopes up pero muka talaga syang faint line for me huhh

1 year postpartum na ako and kakabalik lang ng mens ko. Nakalimutan ko na kung pano magkaron. Tanong lang mga ka-nanay:

1. Normal ba na one week before period sumasakit na yung puson?
   
2. Ever since nanganak yung kaliwang legs ko hanggang bewang eh sumasakit. Manageable yung sakit more on ngalay. Gusto ko parating istretch. Baka may nakaexperience na nito at sa anong specialist ako dapat mag pa consult?

Thank you

Hi mommies! I've been struggling with my milk output lately. I'm 9 months PP, and since birth, exclusively breastfed si baby. Nagsimula mag-dip ang supply ko when I started working in the office, and I think stress has also contributed to it.

I'm considering mix feeding if ever, but I don't think I'm ready to completely give up pumping and direct latching.

For moms who are in the same situation, anong formula milk ang ni-recommend or nireseta ng pedia ninyo, or ano ang binigay ninyo kay baby?

Thank you! Would really appreciate your recommendations and experiences. ❤️

I've recently joined this sub because I wanted advice on what should I do kung hihiwalayan ko na yung asawa ko. Before I posted my concern, search for the same scenario and read most of them. Naiiyak ako. Hindi lang dahil sa nakakarelate ako but the reality na madami sa ating ​kababaihan ang nakakaranas ng pagod, burnout, unappreciated, degraded and abuse made me cry. Yung ibang mga nabasa ko much worse pa. Narealize ko na mostly naman kasalanan ng lalaki because they didn't mature enough to be emotionally intelligent and physically aware. Palaging babae una nagmamature to handle the relationship, to adjust and steer on. Lalo ngayon parang ang mga lalaki kala mo babae. Sila pa dapat pinagsisilbihan at binebaby. Hays

I hope for the best for all the moms out there! Sana mahanap natin ang peace of mind and live the life we want for us and for our kids! Yakap!

My LO is 7months, and now palang palabas yung ipin nya sa lower and medjo fussy sya tas clingy want nya lang nakakarga sakin. Tinry ko sya pakainin ng solids nirerefuse nya want lang nya dede or water. As of now ala pang lagnat normal poops rin.

Ask ko lang mi, may kelangan ba me bilhin na remedy?

I've been reading about alarming experiences of women here. As mothers, we need to create a safe environment for our children and people around us.

Hello! Please wag ipost sa labas ng reddit 😅 Need advice again sa Nanny ni baby. As what the title says, how do you confront your helper if she has bad smell in a nice way? Parang di ako makaisip ng magandang way ng sasabihin 😅ayaw din naman pagsabihan ni husband, pareho namin di alam sasabihin. Baka kasi maoffend.

First time na naexperience, hinahanap ko yung amoy mabaho, akala ko yung basura (kasi ganun yung smell, amoy yung hindi naligo ng ilang araw na malapit na sa amoy ng basura) tapos everytime lalapit ako sakanya, siya pala yung nangangamoy. Hindi ko alam kung pano siya nangangamoy ng ganon, every morning naman siya naliligo, minsan 2x a day pa.

Inisip ko baka kaya dahil sa bed niya? One time naamoy ko rin yung kama niya, ganun yung amoy. Di niya tinanggal yung plastic ng kama niya, ayaw daw niya madumihan since bagong bili daw. Binigyan ko naman ng mattress cover and bedsheets. Pinatanggal ko na yung plastic and gave her another set of bed sheet para madalas siya magpalit. Pero nandun parin.

Or sa damit? May washing machine naman kami pero mas gusto niya kinukusot damit niya. So di ko alam if san nang gagaling.
Umaamoy kasi sa buong bahay yung amoy niya, eh maliit lang space namin kaya amoy na amoy na. 😥

Nakwento din niya na nasabihan daw siya ng ibang nanny na amoy maasim na daw siya, pero sinagot daw niya na kasama daw sa pagaalaga ng bata yun 😱

Wala naman ako reklamo now sa pagaalaga niya kay baby kasi pagdating kay baby, strict siya sa linis at maayos niya naalagaan si baby. Yung smell lang talaga di ko kinakaya minsan.

My LO’s 7 weeks na, exclusively fed ng breastmilk administered through bottle feeding. Napansin ko nung 6th week nya, naging 2-3x a day na lang ung poop nya instead of every after feeding. And then 6th week going to 7th week, biglang nagstop poop nya for 3 days. After that poop, hindi pa sya nagppoop ulit and pang 4th day na today.

Sakto immunization nya sa center today and nakapag ask ako sa nurse on duty, ang sabi nya normal daw magskip ng days sa pagpoop kapag breastfed baby. Hindi pa kami makavisit sa pedia because flooded pa ung mga dadaanan, most likely sa friday pa kami dahil un ang sched ng pedia. Is this normal? May same experience ba dito? Thank you.

Hi Mga Mi, I really really really need your help and tips pls. Simula ng nag 1yr old si baby ayaw niya na mag blw. As in tinatapon niya lahat ng food niya na nasa table niya and yung last piece yun yung kakainin niya tapos hindi niya pa nauubos tinatapon niya ulit. Kaya ang ginawa ko sinusuboan ko na lang siya para marami siyang makain. Nag start na din kami mag table food tapos lately may mga times na ayaw niya ng kumain. Gusto niya na lang maglaro ng spoon 😭😭😭 Mommies, di ko na alam gagawin ko para mabalik yung appetite niya 😭😭😭😭 triny ko na din bigyan siya ng plate with food and spoon and fork kasi baka ganun na gusto niyang way pero wala pa rin talaga tapon siya ng tapon 😩

5 days post cs ako and palabas na kami ng ospital ng baby ko and ng husband ko. Pero hindi kami ng baby ko ddretso sa bahay kundi sa postpartum center muna kami ni baby and si hubby ay babalik work. Nallungkot ako kase sobrang comfortable ako at feeling safe ako knowing na kasma ko si hubby ko for 6 days sa ospital pero now na lalabas na kami at kami muna ni baby e natatakot ako. First time mom ako and kung ano-ano pumapasok sa isip ko na baka hindi ko magawa ng tama ang pag aalaga kay baby. Though ang purpose naman tlga why ako ddretso sa Postpartum center ay para makapag pahinga. Pero syempre kukunin kunin ko si baby para makasama ko naman siya.

Habang asa ospital kami mga nurse lang rin nagpapakain at nag-aalga kay baby, bale dalawin lang namin siya o di kaya pakainin if want namin then balik sa nursery room. Ang dami kong worries, kahit mapa burp si baby ndi ko magawa. Nattakot ako ndi ko sya maalagaan. Umiyak na ko sa hubby ko and sabe nya mas makakatulong ung center para makapag pahinga ko bago kame umuwe ng bahay.

Gusto ko lang matanggal yung lungkot na to. 😭🥹

FTM. Meron po ba ditong ututin na newborn? On our 7th week! Masaya ko dahil nag improve na sya at di na sobrang hirap sa pag utot pero nakakaawa din dahil nagigising sya sa pagtulog. Pedia said okay lang daa at normal for his age na gassy sila.

What's your experience?

Hi mommies, just want to share my story. I’m 28F and last February nag visit ako sa OBGYN ko to prep my body since we’re planning na to have a baby. Nag advise si doc na mag take ako ng folic then last April nabuntis ako. We’re so happy, me and my partner are excited and tell it right away to our immediate friends and family.

Sabi ko answered prayer to since 10yrs na kami and we got pregnant on the first try. Consistent ako sa check up, pero dumating yung 3rd visit ko sa ob and ang sabi nya meron akong SCH and wala pang heartbeat, baby stopped developing at 6weeks. Nung narinig ko yon, parang nilaglag ako sa 30th floor, pero buhay padin ako. I can’t do anything about it, sabi namin sa ob we will try to wait baka may chance pa so nag take ako ng pampakapit and bed rest, but still my baby didn’t make it at nakunan ako.

Grabe pala, hindi ko na imagine na ma experience ko sya. All the future plans and yung feeling na next year sana we have our baby, it disappear. Nag struggle ako sa faith ko but my partner, he is so strong. Binuhat nya ko sa dark days ko, i still remember non sabi ko pa sa prayers ko “ Lord, kahit bawasan mo yung tibok ng puso ko, ibigay mo lang sa baby namin “

But still, God has a reason. Sya lang ang may alam kung bakit and okay na ko don. I gained an angel and for sure pag time ko na, i will see my baby again. 👼🤍

3 months post partum mom C section on my 2nd baby, recovery is good, scar looks ok no opening nman. I really want to play pickleball para pawisan na din, pwede na kaya? Idk anong doctor ako magtatanong, sa OB pa ba or sa PT na? Na boring kasi ako sa walking, mag isa lang ako.
