EDITED: How careless I was during the start of my pregnancy

Hello. I just want to share how careless and irresponsible I was before I discovered that I am pregnant. And how the baby survived in my womb despite some bad decisions I had. First, I started this year filled with hope and aspirations as I resigned from my previous job last Dec. 31. In January, I decided to have a new look and spent about 8 hours in the hair salon to have my hair rebonded and dyed. In February, I joined a 2-day pilgrimage walk that covers about 20 kilometers. I walked for about 9 hours straight to hilly mountains during the first day. It was an amazing experience (if you didn't know that you are already carrying a baby fetus inside). Last March, I noticed that I have gained weight. I thought it was only because I ate too much and sleep all day because I still don't have work yet. I am also constipated so I took laxatives like Dulcolax and Biofit tea. Then, it was April, I already have a job that time. Because I was too concerned with my weight, I walked for about 30 minutes or maybe 5 kilometers every day from work and continued taking laxatives. You are probably thinking what about experiencing morning sickness, cravings and period? Actually, I missed my menstruation since Dec. and I only thought maybe because I am having irregular period. I also haven't experienced nausea, vomiting and I'm not sure with cravings because I eat a lot. Still in April, I decided to go to the doctor because my pelvis was really painful and I can feel slight pitik-pitik down there. I don't want to think that I am pregnant . I still have many things I want to accomplish in life. My boyfriend, who is a seafarer, was the one who wanted to start a family with me. I love him and I also wanted to. He's ready while I am not. Everytime when we make love, as much as possible we use condom. Sometimes, he didnt and opted to have withdrawal. And that I should trust him. Anyway, during the checkup with the OB. The doctor tried the doppler device and we heard a hearbeat sound. I was too shocked to react that time. I know this is a good news for my boyfriend but not so much to my family. As expected, my boyfriend, who is miles away from me, was very happy with the news. That was April and I was already 5 months pregnant. A lot of things have happened after I discovered I am carrying a baby inside. When everyone finally accepted the situation, we decided to tie a knot with my boyfriend last June. After our marriage, my now husband confessed to me that he intentionally impregnate me. He admitted that he planned it all along so he can have me in the end and also because of some stories that most seafarers have difficulties in getting a child because of the hot and humid temperature in their work environment. I was surprised with his honesty and I cannot get mad at him. I love him afterall and if I will have my own family, I want it with him. Now, I am on my 35-week pregnancy. I considered it as a miracle that my baby was able to survive despite all the poor decisions I've had during my first trimester. To mommies or soon to be moms out there who discovered their pregnancy a bit late, you still have time to correct your mistakes and do good for your unborn babies well-being. Honestly, I still feel guilty sometimes and regret what I did, but know that God is really good. I realized that if you cannot take care His blessing, then He will do it for you. I am still amazed up to now because the OB said the baby is healthy inside. I might have missed the precious moments during the first five months, but I am now feeling and enjoying my remaining weeks before I get to see my little one. ? I can't wait to see you our baby girl. ❀ Hope you'll forgive mommy.

Hala ganito din po ako momsh, nalaman ko 6months na pala :( naaawa ako sa baby ko pa kse super stressed ako sa school, nagtatake pa ko gaviscon, di ako kumakain ng dinner noon kse akala ko tumataba ako pero gulat ko lumalaki lang tiyan ko without me eating a lot tlga, tas nagsusuka ako every morning pero sbe ko sa self ko dhl lang s aheartburn ko, then nagkalagnat pa ako. Lagi din akong lumalakad ng malayo kse commute, palagi pang puyat at nagcocoffee ako. Hay, iba talaga pag blessing ni Lord. He will absolutely take care of that and when the time comes, He will reveal it to you when you’re ready. :) congrats to us momsh!

Same story hehe, I'm almost 4 months pregnant nung nalaman ko.. All I know is missed period lang due to irregular menstruation. Walang morning sicknessβ€”nausea, headache, acid reflux.. Ang talagang pakiramdam ko lang is bloating at weight gain na akala ko normal lang dahil matakaw talaga ako. Napainom pa ako noong una since di ko talaga alam, nag marathon paβ€”fun run, nag stroll ng malayo sakay ng motor, puyat din since internship namin noon. As in walang signs na buntis. Thank God okay si baby pagkalabas. He's turning 5 months sa 7 bochog baby

Ganyan din po ako. Di ko alam na buntis na po ako, sabrang stressfull ng work ko. Nasa sales and marketing din kasi ako bukod sa mga schools na hawak ko minsan pinupull out din kami para gumawa ng ibang work. And sobrang bait ni lord kasi pag naiimagine ko ung work ko ang tatag ni baby na hindi nya ako iniwan na ang lakas ng kapit nya. God is good tlga. Yes medyo maaga dumating si baby kasi 4 months palang kami ni hubby pero almost years na kami mag kakilala super blessing sya sa amin dalawa 25 weeks preggy here po :)

Congrats sayo mommy. Napaka strong ni baby namana sa iyo. :) Hinay2 lang din sa work kahit na alam natin na matatag si baby. At continue praying kay God. Have a safe and normal delivery sayo. πŸ™πŸ˜‡Thanks for reading.

Karamihan naman sa mga seaman takot na hindi magkaanak dhil sa nga mainit ang manika hindi nagtatagal ang sperm cells nila kaya ang result nahihirapan sila magkaanak,dagdag pa na stress at pagod din. Before I got pregnant meron akong regular check up sa OB since ayoko malaman na baka may problema ako sa matress,Thank God healthy naman ang bahay bata ko bago nabuntis sa seaman kong BF. More than 8yrs of being together,Nabuntis ako hahaha napatalon pa sya tuwa ako umiyak eh. But now Cant wait to see our little princess 😊

Almost same situation saakin. Late ko nalaman preggy ako. Since january i did a lot of horrible things. Like mag inom, mahabang lakaran, puro unhealthy foods, uminom ng mga gamot, nagtravel ng napakalayo but still sobrang kapit ni baby. The moment i found out i was pregnant sobrang naguilty ako sa baby ko. Isa lang nasabi ng mom ko nung inopen ko to sakanya, tungkol sa mga nagawa ko noon sabi niya 'para saatin talaga si baby' 😌 31 weeks preggy here πŸ’™
