Maternity Wear

Question

Girls,
how to select maternity wear? every month mana size perugutoo vuntundi kada, aa lekkana every month konukkovala? lekapothe ela select chesukunedi? inka bras elantivi vesukunte manchidi ee time lo? educate me on this please..

Answer

actually ,nenu second month ending nunche maternity wear vadhuthuna.esp, pants were really uncomfortable for me, belly dhegara pressure padedhi. So, when I went shopping, akkada sales women ni adigithe chepindi and also maternity clothes medha kuda rasi vuntadi. Buy you pre pregnany size clothes ani. and they stretch as your tummy grows. pants ki aithe, elastic lag vuntadi kada (make sure that its not tight elastic) adi sagutha vuntadi as your tummy gets bigger and bigger. Shirts ki kuda, chest kinda sanati elastic vunavi aithe,neeku belly dhegara adi fills vasthai kada.avi free ga vuntai.

as of now, I would say buy few clothes until your are really big. you can buy them as you grow.

bras, no idea.waiting for others to reply.

Answer

chaala mandhi due to hormones throughout pregnancy continued breast growth experience chestharu which results in tenderness and discomfort so wearing more supportive bra such as a nursing or maternity bra can help at these stages

Travel, Flight Travel, etc

Question

girls I'll be going to India this weekend for a month and wanted to know what precautions should we take while flying? I think Archana had posted some info the other day which is very useful. Any other tips?

Also I usually catch cold and cough in the first week whenever I go to India... I'm 21 wks pregnant so is it ok to let the cold come and go or should I go to a doctor there

Answer

21 weeks ki happy ga international travel cheyyachu.. nenu monna monnane vachanu india ninchi. I went around the same time... 21-22 weeks and came back before i entered 29th week... some airlines don't allow u from 29th week... check with ur airlines before booking ur tickets.. but until 32 weeks u should be ok.
Inka tips for travelling abroad ante, I will tell u what I did n what others suggested me:

1. Ask for a bulkhead seating in all the flights ( to n fro). Tell them u r pregnant and u need more leg space ani... they will consider ur request( if there are not many travelling with babies). naku oka flight lo ( from DC -London) lo tappa migita 3 flights lo bulk head seating icharu.
2. Though they provide food in the flight.. sometimes aa smells padakapovachu and frankly manaki aa quantity saripodu ... so I took my own food along with me.. ( non-perishable n non-liquidy form lo vundedi teesukellachu ... like : roti with some subzi, mixed rice ... nenu one way from US to India beetroot n potato rice, dal teesukellanu.. return vachetappudu india ninchi i got idly n roti with tomato onion curry... )
3. Drink lots n lots of water in the flight.. air hostess ni adugutoo vundandi.. they will provide u with fluids whenever u want.. keep walking n stretching ur legs..
always try to keep ur feet up.. from my experience.. though we took bulkhead seating.. on-way I didn't realise, I have to put my feet up which resulted in lot of fluid retention.. it took me almost 2-3dys to get them back to normal in India.. return journey lo matram.. aa leg space lone naku comfortable distance lo ma backpack stuffed with clothes pettukuni, I kept my feet on that.. this time I did not have tht problem..
4. Oke dress lo chaala chiragga anipistundi.. change-over ki extra dress pettukondi

5. carry a mask with u and use it for sure during the flight.. nenu chesina tappu.. mask nenu thru out onward journey vesukunnanu.. return journey lo matram london ninchi vesukoledu... london flight lone i caught cold n fever... so better not to take chances.. open ga vunde kanna, ila closed places lone u catch infections quickly..
6. Take a letter/note from ur doctor stating tht u r her patient and tht u r pregnant n u can travel overseas and u r travelling for so n so time period.. nannu london lo adigaru..
u can also carry ur prenetals n whtever medication ur doctor prescribed for u even in the flight..

naku prastutam ivve gurtochayi... inka emanna gurtu vasthe will post them too

Have a safe and comfortable journey

Question

-what care should to taken wen traveling??
-flight lo food frequent ga istara ? cos naku frequent ga akkalivestundhi?
-can we carry any snaks like chetoos,chips,snack bars etc? which is best to carry?
-can we buy above things after checkin at airport?
inka naku emyina best tips cheppandi experienced moms?

Answer

first of all congratulations. flight lo velletapudu you have to drink lots of water, 1 hr ki ala lechi atu itu thirugu. let flight attendant know that you are pregnant she will keep an eye on you. you can ask for more juices, water, half n half milk w/ sugar. yes you can carry snacks of your own on board but if you want cheetos buy it after security screening. you can buy granola bars, healthy protein bars and keep them handy in your hand baggage. keep yourself hydrated and eat small meals. ippatiki ive gurthosthunnayi... mana vallu inkemaina add chestharemo chuddam..... congrats again and take care. happy journey to you.

Answer

nenu 12 weeks nindakane india vellanu.....

india velle tapudu just frequent ga lesthu walking chesanu flight lo.....adhi saripoledhu ayina naku kallu vasayi...2 days ki thagayi vapulu.......so while returning to us i made sure to even stretch my foot apart from walking frequently......

so here are the things which i followed in my return journey ,,and kallu asalu vayaledhu.

drink more water.....nenu air hostess nee 1ltr bottle adigi na pakka petukunna adhi ayipogane malli theesukunna inkoti ala ee 2 lts kakunda meals kosam vallu ochinappudu water ala nenu thagu thune unnanu.........

----seat lo nundi atleast 1-2 hrs ki lesthu attu ittu thiragali.....apart from this......seat lo kurchone mana foot nee clockwise and anti clockwise rotate chesthu undali atleast repeat 10 times each side.......prathi 1-2 hrs repeat cheyi....
inka foot ila paiki kindaki ....toes paiki kindaki ala kadhuputhu unte.......blood circulation baga ayi ...kallu vayavu........


----and na bag lo 2 biscuit pkts , 3 aloo parathas petukunnanu......flight lo vallu naku akali vesi nappudu food istharo ledho ani.....naku starting lo baga akali undedhi.....so theesukelli manchi pani chesa anipinchindhi.....(Qatar lo ochamu i didnt like their food).

Question

Girls,

Nadi ee sari sad update. I am in 30th week now. Last week naku konchem pains vachay.Doc avi monitor chesi contractions ani chepparu. Also cervix length taggindi ani chepparu. 3cm undalanta. naku 2.2cm undi. So naku complete bed rest chepparu.

I am very worried. Evarikanna ilanti cases telusa? Malla cervix length normal ki vastunda. Please tell me girls, if you have any information. Thanks

Answer

few months back nenu ide issue gurinchi tension padutoo ikkada post chesanu before my India trip. naku 21st week scan appudu chepparu that my cervix length is 2.9cm, so need to take total rest that too India veltunnavu kabatti ani... she gave me wheel chair assistance right from here.. strictly no walking, standing for long hrs, no strain esp pelvic area daggara... ila chala chepparu.. naku almost heart attack ee vachindi appudu..

airport lo wheel chair lo koorchovalante chala siggu anipinchindi but still doctors oorike chepparu kada ani I went ahead with it. India lo kooda aa 5 weeks nenu total baddakist la 90% of the time sitting and sleeping ee... But, we wanted to know more about this cervix length and India lo kooda inthe precaurtions cheptara ani.. so ikkadiki vache 1 week mundu akkada okasari scan ki vellamu and they said my cervix length improved to 3.7cm. Adi possible aa ante, it might be possible. sometimes its due to over-stress , in some cases naturally length anthe vuntundi annaru. But, akkada gync asked me one thing - if my bladder was totally full or not tht full as required ani? I said i was totally full ani... then he told me : u/s ki our bladder should be filled with water kaani total full ga vundakoodadu.. ala ani it should not be empty as well... oka level ki matrame vundali annaru.. Also, that gync mentioned that in Asian countries and asian women, cervix measurement 2.5cm kanna takkuva vuntene warning istamu annaru.

Now, I think u are having 2.2cm. I suggest until ur next scan, take complete rest.. avoid walking, standing.. ninchuni chese panulu avoid cheyyandi.. I know its very difficult here, kaani future complications avoid cheyyataniki mundu ninchi careful ga vunte better kada... I am not trying to threaten you kaani I understood the seriousness of it only later when I went for the 2nd scan in India... this is something that you cannot improve with any medication or surgery

nobody knows if urs is naturally the same length or it has shrinked due to stress... so talk to your doctor as to when they are going to send u for next u/s... until then I suggest take complete bedrest as suggested by doctor. pre-term labor kanna, aa avasta edo ippudu padithene better kada...

meeru adigina question - malli normal ki vastunda ani? daniki na answer.. if urs was naturally the same size, then chances are less, but if it was due to stress, then if u take complete rest, it will show better results... and next time don go with bladder totally full.. ala kooda measurements difference choopistundita...

Don't get tensed... mi husband support kooda meeku ee vishayam lo chala avasaram. Meeku evaranna help chesevallu vastunnaru ante... better ippude pilipinchukondi... as urs is less than the min suggested for asian women too... don't get me wrong.. i am only trying to educate you, bhayapettalani kadu.. i went thru this and I know how worried u will be. All the best and take care

cheppatam marchipoyanu...

my gync also advised me not to consume cold n sweet stuff... spicy n hot food tinachu.. but try to avoid as much as cold items like ice creams, cold drinks, lassi etc ani chepparu.... I did not touch any of these in those 5 weeks...
cold stuff has tendency to shrinken it seems.. ma doc cheppaledu nenu online lo chadivanu .. so try to keep away from these and I wish n pray u come out of it very soon

my pregnancy is confirmed in last week and i'm 6 weeks now. last satday i went for doc's visit and she suggested the scan. Was there something wrong? For my first kid, i had the scan only at the beganning of 5th month.

when i asked doc if there was a prob, she simply said its routine. but i know its not routine...do you gals have any info

Answer

don't worry .first weeks lo kuda scan chestaru .i had 3 scans when pregnant . congrats

Answer

Please dont panic.. there have been a lot of advances in medicine in the past few years.. i am not sure how old your first kid is.. but as doc said , early pregnancy scan has become a routine.. asala naakaite every time i went to the visit in Mumbai, the doc used to scan and check out the growth and show my kid to me... i used to get tensed enti innisarlu chestundi ani, harm emo scanning inni sarlu, etc. etc.. but it is okay.. formally, printouts teesi, results avi vesi she did it 4 times for me.. early pregnancy scan in 5th week, NLT in 11th week, anomaly scan at the end of 5th month, and finally a growth scan in 9th month to determine the amniotic fluid level..

So no abnormality.. stay bindaas and enjoy the pregnancy

Answer

Scans are done early in the pregnancy to see if the pregnancy is viable or not. They check if the baby is in the uterus or if it's an ectopic pregnancy and things like that.
I think getting a early scan is good to make sure if everything is fine with the baby.

Don't worry and just be happy that you will be able to see the baby so soon in the scan

Answer

Pelvic scan ante enduku bhaya padutunnaru? It is normal and they check for fetus growth, check for heart beat and length of fetal pole.

Question

what tests(for vitamins and minerals) will be done in your first and second trimester? naku inka iron test cheyaledu.. prob'ly chesi mari normal ga vundi ani naku chepaledo, no idea..will check with ObGYN..mee andhariki yevi yevi tests chesaru?

mundhu post chesanu, yevaru chudaledhu anukunta..anduke mali chesthuna

Answer

Iron test first trimester lo blood sample draw chesinappudu choostaru. Appudu anemic anipistey the doc will prescribe for Iron supplements.

Second trimester lo AFP test untundi. sometimes around 17 weeks( alternate to Aminocentesis).
Amino centesis ani okkati untundi. This is purely optional as it is risky. There are chances of losing pregnancy, hence chala mandi opt cheyaru. But AFP is the alternate one.

around 25th week glucose test chestaru for gestational diabetes. Of course 20th week lo ultrasound chestaru for baby development and to know the gender if you want to know :)

Answer

Usually mana ethnicity ki gestational diabetes ekkuva untundi antaru.
Gest diab anedi 6th month lo placenta dwara vastundi. if the placenta starts producing less insulin then the sugar levels increase. Diabetes vachina variki nutrition ki refer chestaru and their diet changes drastically.

Chala different untundi. You can't eat large amounts of anything. And most of the carb and fruits are restricted. Asalu inka sweets marchipovali. Manam diet neglect chestey its dangerous for both the baby and mother.

So konchem watch out. nenu naa pregnancy motham lo max 2-3 times sweets tinnanu. I didn't want to take a chance. Ma afriend everyday cold stone ice cream tinnadi. She didn't have diabetes but weight gain chala ayyindi. So edaina limits lo ne better

Answer

GD is not a good symptom for both Baby and Mother, we can control it by balancing our diet with less carbs(enough) and more protiens and a BIG no for sweets, ice creams,cakes etcc and even we should follow a limit in taking fruits and milk If we are diagonised with GD we will be monitored by a dietician, Endocronologist and as well our gynic too. My Intention is not to scare you, just I want you to be alert and it is always better if we know something before hand and I suggest to limit sweets and carbs during your pregnancy. I have no idea rgd this GD and I didnt monitor my diet even and I started research when I was diagonised with GD during my third trimester.
The above is one reason and our body being not capable of producing Insulin also stands as a major for GD
