Fetal development - 38 weeks pregnant

 

 

 

Can you tell if you're carrying a boy or a girl? One hint may come from the size of your baby - boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls. Babies at week 39 weigh about 6.8 to 7 pounds / 3 to 3.2 kilograms and continue to build the fat stores that will help regulate body temperature after birth. Your little one's organ systems are fully developed and in place, but the lungs will be last to reach maturity. (Even after your baby is born, it may take a few hours before she establishes a normal breathing pattern.)

Wondering what colour your baby's eyes will be? Most Asian and African babies usually have dark grey or brown eyes at birth - their dark eyes becoming a true brown or black after the first six months or year. Multi-racial children often turn out to have the most beautiful coloured eyes. Most European babies are born with dark blue eyes and their true eye colour - be it brown, green or blue - may not reveal itself for weeks or months. The colour of your baby's eyes in the first minutes after birth won't last - exposure to light changes a baby's initial eye colour.

Have a look at our newborn section to learn all about the precious load you are carrying.

Fetal development - 37 weeks pregnant

 

 

Your baby weighs close to 6.5 pounds / 2.8 kilograms and may be about 20 inches / 50 centimetres long from head to toe. Your baby's head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity - surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for her growing legs and buttocks.

Many babies now have a full head of hair, with locks maybe around one inch / 2.5 centimetres long. Of course, some babies don't have any hair at all.

Speaking of hair, most of the downy coat of lanugo that covered your baby from 26 weeks has disappeared, and so has most of the vernix caseosa, the whitish substance that also covers her. Your baby will swallow her lanugo and exterior coating, along with other secretions, and store them in her bowels. These will become your infant's first bowel movement, a blackish waste called meconium.

Around now many women start worrying about whether they will know if they are in labour. Look no further than our labour and birth section.

Fetal development - 36 weeks pregnant

 

 

Your baby is still gaining weight - about an ounce / 28 grams a day. She weighs nearly 6 pounds / 2.7 kilograms and is 19 inches / 45 centimetres long from head to toe.

You may begin to feel an increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lightening or engagement, and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch out a little - breathing and eating should become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable - some women say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. Also, you may still feel as if you need to go to the toilet all the time. Stock up on those last minute nutrients with our eating well guide.

The good news is that by the end of this week, your pregnancy will be full-term and you could give birth any day now. (Babies between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full-term - a baby born before 37 weeks is premature and after 42 is post-term.) At your weekly visit, your doctor may check to see if you've started dilating (when the cervix opens) and effacing (when the cervix thins). The doctor will also check what position the baby is in, in order to estimate how far the baby has dropped into the pelvis. This information will be entered into your maternity notes so that your doctor in will know the position of the baby when you go into labour.

How will I know when I am in labour?

How will I know when I am in labour?

 

Every woman's labour is different, and pinpointing when it begins is not really possible. It's more of a process than a single event, when a number of changes in your body work together to help you give birth (Winter and Cameron 2006).

In early labour, also called the latent phase you may feel the following:

• Persistent lower back or abdominal pain, often accompanied by a crampy premenstrual feeling.
• A bloody show (a brownish or blood-tinged mucus discharge). If you pass the mucus plug that blocks the cervix, labour could be imminent or it could be several days away. It's a sign that things are moving along.
• Painful contractions that occur at regular and increasingly shorter intervals and become longer and stronger in intensity (NCCWCH 2007: 139).
• Broken waters, but you're in labour only if it's accompanied by contractions that are dilating your cervix (Walsh 2004: 438-9).

How you will feel in early labour depends on:

• whether you've had a baby before;
• how you perceive and respond to pain;
• how prepared you are for what labour may be like (Walsh 2004: 438; Cheyne et al 2006).

When should I contact my doctor?

You and your doctor have probably talked about what to do when you think you're in labour. But if you're not sure whether or not the time has come, don't be embarrassed to call. Doctors are used to getting calls from women who are uncertain if they're in labour and who need guidance. It's part of their job.

The doctor will want to know how close together your contractions are, whether you can talk through a contraction, and any other symptoms you may have. Alternatively, you can call the labour ward and speak to a nurse or midwife who will be able to advise you.

You should contact your doctor if:

• your waters break, or if you suspect you're leaking amniotic fluid (NCCWCH 2007: 206;);
• your baby is moving less than usual (NCCWCH 2008: 276);
• you have vaginal bleeding (unless it's just a small amount of blood-tinged mucus) (NCCWCH 2008: 251; Lindsay 2004a: 772; Lindsay 2004b: 856);
• you have fever, severe headaches, changes in your vision, or abdominal pain that is constant and unrelenting (NCCWCH 2008: 228).

See our list of other pregnancy symptoms you shouldn't ignore, in case anything else is worrying you.

What should I do early on in labour?

This will depend on what time of day it is, what you like doing and how you're feeling. Keeping calm and relaxed will help your labour to progress (McNabb 2007: 415) and help you cope with the contractions (NCCWCH 2007: 93-4). Do whatever will help you to stay relaxed.

This could mean watching a favourite film, relaxing or asking a friend or relative over to keep you company. You could alternate between walking and resting, or try taking a warm bath or shower to ease any aches and pains. If you can, try to get some rest to prepare you for the work ahead.

During early labour, you may feel hungry so eat and drink if you feel like it (McNabb 2004: 415). This will help to comfort you and help you to rest.

Early labour is a good time to try out different positions and breathing techniques to see if they help you cope with the contractions, now that you're having them for real! If you've got a TENS machine, early labour is the time to use it (NCCWCH 2007: 93; 100).

Can I have contractions and not be in labour?

Yes. When you are in labour your cervix becomes gradually thinner (called effacement) and dilated. (Effacement and dilatation of the cervix occurs simultaneously in a woman who has had children.) Some women are sensitive to the pain of contractions before the cervix has started to dilate (NCCWCH 2007: 145; Winter and Cameron 2006: 455-6). A nurse or midwife can confirm whether cervical changes have started during an examination.

If your baby is in a posterior position (with his head down but his back to your back) it can take longer for your baby's head to engage and for labour to get started properly (Lewis 2004: 890). Your contractions may be erratic and low in intensity, and you may have a lot of backache.

Your doctor will advise you on ways to cope at home until labour becomes stronger (NCCWCH 2007: 145). You could try a warm bath or massage to relieve the pain.

Can I tell if labour is about to happen soon?

Maybe. Signs of the approach of labour include:

• Lightening (when the baby's head begins to drop into position in your pelvis). You may notice that you can breathe more deeply and eat more, but you'll also need to wee more frequently.
• Your vaginal discharge becomes heavier and more mucous.
• You'll have more frequent and noticeably more intense Braxton Hicks contractions.
• You may have loose bowels (McCormick 2003: 435-6; 446).

Fetal development - 35 weeks pregnant

Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds / 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches / 45 centimetres from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.

This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.

There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds / 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water- your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks such as tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.

Still undecided about a name? Try our baby namer for new ideas.

Your doctor will probably want to start seeing you every week until you give birth.

16 Mac 2013 - Kenduri Doa Selamat

 

 

 

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

 

 

 

Last 16 March 2013, aku dan hubby wat sket kenduri doa selamat sempena nak bersalin nie.  Plus kenduri tahlil untuk ayah, atok kasim, mak tok, atok, mamak, dan family terdekat yang dah meninggal dunia.  Alhamdulillah, everything went well dan yang paling best kawan-kawan baik aku si Julia, Rhea dan Zihan pun ada sekali. Thanks korang for spending your time!  Nie ada lah gambo sket yang sempat diamik hari tu.  Hahaha.. Besar tul badan aku ekkk! Masa nie kandungan dah berusia 7 bulan lebih (tapi perut aku besar, dah macam nak meletop dah tengok gayanya).

 

 My sweet hubby x kisah ke tengok aku gemuk? :D

 

 Amboi! Besonyaaaa perutttttku!

 Dah macam makcik2 dah aku tengok aku nie. Xpe la janji laki aku syg!

 My bestie, Julia pegang perutku.  Amboi! Amik berkat ke lalink? :D

 Amboi! masing2 pegang perutku!

 Aksi yang paling tak boleh blah! Hahaha! Tunjuk cap 'jempol' (thumbs up) tuuuu!

Happynya lakiku.  Iye lah nak dapat anak lelaki la katakan :)

Fetal development - 34 weeks pregnant

Pejam celik pejam celik dah masuk 34 weeks dah kandungan aku.. There's still few weeks to go... Urmm.. macam2 perasaan.... Takut.. Excited... Etc.... Doakan semoga dipermudahkan segalanya... Amiin...

 

 

 

Your baby now weighs more than 4.7 pounds / 2.2 kilograms and is 18 inches / over 45 centimetres from top to toe. She's filling out and getting rounder - she'll need her fat layers later to regulate her body temperature.

If you don't already talk to your baby, this is a good time to start - at 35 weeks her hearing is fully developed. Don't feel ridiculous if you're already chatting in baby talk. Some evidence shows that newborns pay closer attention to high-pitched tones.

If you've been nervous about going into premature labour, you'll be happy to know that 99 per cent of babies born at week 35 can survive outside the womb - and most have no major problems. Although your baby's central nervous system is still maturing, her lungs are nearly fully developed by now.

Many women start to notice a tingling sensation or numbness in the pelvic region or pain as they walk. This may be caused by the pelvic joints loosening, ready for labour. If you're terribly uncomfortable, mention it to your doctor and check out our self-help tips.

The most popular baby names among Muslim parents

 

Nama untuk baby? Aku dan hubby lom decide lagi, but i'm still searching for the right one :)  Meh baca article nie, hopefully it might helps :)

 

 

 

Welcome to our list of popular baby names among Muslim parents in Malaysia. The richness of the Malay Muslim culture and naming traditions are clear in this list. Babies in this community don’t get just one name -- they often enjoy two, three and occasionally, even four, names.

From the beautiful and simple Aina and the more esoteric Cinta, to the triple-barrel Noor Afiqah Alya, Muslim parents in Malaysia draw from a mix of Malay and Arabic cultures as well as other Muslim cultures around the world for their babies’ names. Some parents have also co-opted names from European and other world cultures as well, naming their baby girls Ava and Nadine, and their baby boys Vigil, Noah and Mikhail.

Top 10 girls' and boys' names

 

Top 10 girls’ names	Top 10 boys’ names
1. Nur (also Noor)	1. Mohamed (all spellings)
2. Damia	2. Adam
3. Alya	3. Rayyan
4. Aleesya (also Alisya, Elysia and Allysha)	4. Ahmad
5. Hana (also spelled Hannah)	5. Danish
6. Arissa	6. Hakimi
7. Humaira	7. Aqil
8. Maisara	8. Ashraff
9. Aishah	9. Danial
10. Iman	10. Haris

Multiple names

Some parents take a more is more approach to their baby's names, choosing three or four names for their boy or girl. However, the majority of Muslim babies in Malaysia are given double names, such as Hana Humaira, Nur Marissa, Mohamed Adam and Intan Dayana.

 

Nur (light) and its variation Noor are by far the most popular first element of double names for baby girls. Muhammad (one who is praiseworthy; a Prophet), and all its variations such as Mohamed and Mohamad, are the overwhelming favourite for baby boys. In many families, siblings share the same first element and identify themselves by their second names. Hence, three brothers could well be named Mohamed Faisal, Mohamed Fitri and Mohamed Firdaus; in everyday situations, they would simply identify as Faisal, Fitri and Firdaus.

Creative approaches

For Muslim parents in Malaysia, creativity counts when it comes to baby names. Even when they go retro with a classic such as Ahmad, it is combined with something more contemporary, such as Danial or Rayyan.
 

Indeed, BabyCenter Malaysia’s Muslim parents have shown themselves to be incredibly creative, both in arranging the order of baby’s two or three names and in the way they spell the names. Aleesya, a top contender in our annual list of favourite Malaysian baby names, is also spelled Alisya, Elysia and Allysha. Aishah, another firm favourite, rubs shoulders with the likes of Aisya and Ayshah. As for little Hisyamuddyn, we have to wonder if his parents had thought to spare him a lifetime of correcting the way his name is spelled!


This unabashed creativity hints at a great desire amongst parents to give their babies unique and original names. Clearly, they have searched long and far for just the right moniker, and this has thrown up a few surprises, putting names on the list that many would have thought unusual a decade ago. A big favourite on our girls’ list, Damia. It is thought to be of Greek origin, but is also the name of a city in Jordan. Humaira (also commonly spelled Humayra) means "red" or "reddish" in Arabic, and is said to be a nickname the Prophet gave to his wife Aishah.

For boys, the name Mohamed reigns supreme, leaving Adam and Rayyan, ranked second and third respectively, trailing far, far behind. In fact, the name Mohamed is so dominant that it is certain to head our baby names lists for many years to come.

Fetal development - 33 weeks pregnant

 

Your baby now weighs about 4.2 pounds / 2 kilograms and measures approximately 17 inches / 44 centimetres from head to toe. Your baby should already be getting ready for birth by turning upside-down - his head should be pointing down.

Your doctor will be paying careful attention to your baby's position in the coming weeks - some babies do decide to turn back round again.

Your baby's skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby's skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.

If you're a first-time mother, your child's head may move into the pelvis this week and press firmly against your cervix. (This happens for about half of all first-time mothers.) If you're a second-time mum, you can expect this to happen a week before labour - and for some this won't happen until the start of labour. Hoping to manage your labour naturally? Here's all you need to know about natural pain relief.

You may notice that your feet and ankles are quite swollen by the end of the day. Water retention, also known as oedema, is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Your body - particularly your kidneys - and your baby need plenty of fluids, so drink up. If you suddenly feel swollen or puffy in your hands or face, however, call your doctor - it may be a sign of pre-eclampsia.

Fetal development - 32 weeks pregnant

 

Fetal development - 32 weeks pregnant

 

Your baby now weighs approximately 3.75 pounds / 1.7 kilograms and is about 17 inches / 42 centimetres long from head to toe. Although his lungs won't be fully developed until just before birth, your little one is inhaling amniotic fluid to exercise his lungs and practice breathing.

Some babies have a head of hair already, others have only a few wisps. Thick hair at birth doesn't necessarily mean thick hair later on but children with fine hair in childhood usually have thinner hair in adulthood.

If your baby is a boy, his testicles should be descending from his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes however, one or both testicles won't move into position until after birth. In two-thirds of all baby boys who have undescended testicles at birth, the condition corrects itself by the boy's first birthday.

You're probably gaining a pound / 450 grams a week, largely because your baby is likely to gain more than half his birthweight during the seven weeks before birth. Make sure you are eating well in these last few weeks.

Kencing manis semasa hamil (diabetis gestasi)

Apakah itu diabetis gestasi?

Kencing manis semasa hamil juga dikenali sebagai diabetis gestasi. Ia adalah kencing manis (diabetis) yang dihidapi buat kali pertama semasa kehamilan. Dua hingga 14 peratus ibu hamil diserang penyakit ini.

Diabetis akan berlaku apabila badan tidak boleh menghasilkan insulin yang secukupnya, iaitu hormon yang dihasilkan oleh pankreas. Insulin mengawal jumlah gula dalam darah yang digunakan untuk tenaga dan membolehkan gula yang tidak diperlukan segera disimpan.

Semasa kehamilan, badan anda akan menghasilkan lebih insulin untuk memenuhi keperluan bayi anda, terutamanya dari pertengahan kehamilan dan seterusnya. Jika badan anda tidak boleh menyediakan insulin tambahan ini, anda akan mempunyai terlalu banyak gula dalam darah anda dan akan menimbulkan diabetis gestasi.

Diabetis gestasi selalunya akan teresolusi dengan sendiri selepas bayi anda dilahirkan, berbeza dengan jenis diabetis lain yang merupakan penyakit seumur hidup.

Bagaimana saya tahu jika saya mempunyai kencing manis dalam kehamilan?

Ujian yang disarankan kini untuk diagnosis diabetis gestasi adalah ujian toleransi glukosa oral (OGTT). Jika anda berada dalam kumpulan yang berisiko tinggi mendapat diabetis gestasi, anda akan diberikan ujian ini antara minggu ke-24 dan minggu ke-28 kehamilan.

Doktor anda akan membuat ujian urin untuk kandungan gula pada setiap temu janji antenatal anda. Jika terdapat gula dalam urin anda, ini mungkin tanda diabetis gestasi, walaupun cara ini bukan lagi yang terbaik untuk mengesan penyakit ini.

Selalunya, diabetis gestasi tidak memperlihatkan sebarang simptom, tetapi anda akan mengalami perkara berikut:

• keletihan;
• dahaga yang terlampau;
• membuang air kecil dengan banyak;
• penglihatan kabur.

Jika anda mempunyai sebarang simptom-simptom berikut, berbincanglah dengan doktor anda.

Apakah kesan kencing manis pada kehamilan saya?

Ini bergantung kepada bagaimana anda menjaga diri anda. Jika anda dapat mengawal diabetis anda dengan rapi, ini merupakan tindakan yang terbaik untuk anda dan bayi anda.

Masalah utama jika anda mempunyai terlalu banyak gula dalam darah ialah ia akan merentasi plasenta ke bayi anda, iaitu terdapat sedikit risiko yang bayi anda akan menjadi terlalu besar. Bayi yang besar akan membuatkan proses kelahiran dan bersalin lebih sukar. Kadang-kala, pembedahan caesarean perlu dilakukan.

Bayi-bayi yang menerima terlalu banyak gula dalam darah semasa kehamilan akan mempunyai masalah kesihatan selepas kelahiran seperti gula dalam darah yang rendah (hipoglisemia) dan jaundis. Tahap gula dalam darah bayi mungkin perlu diawasi untuk sementara waktu di unit neonatal.

Bayi-bayi yang dilahirkan oleh ibu-ibu yang mempunyai kencing manis didapati cenderung kepada obesiti dan diabetis jenis 2 di kemudian hari nanti.

Siapakah yang berisiko untuk mempunyai diabetis gestasi?

Anda dikatakan berada dalam kumpulan berisiko tinggi untuk mempunyai diabetis gestasi jika:

• Indeks jisim badan (BMI) anda lebih daripada 30;
• dahulu anda telah melahirkan bayi yang besar dengan berat sebanyak 4kg atau lebih;
• anda menghidapi diabetis gestasi sebelum ini;
• keluarga anda mempunyai sejarah kencing manis (ibu atau bapa, datuk atau adik-beradik mempunyai kencing manis);
• keluarga anda dari nenek moyang lagi mempunyai sejarah kencing manis yang tinggi, dan ini lebih ketara jika anda dari keturunan Asia Selatan, Caribbean berkulit gelap atau Timur Tengah.

Bagaimana diabetis gestasi dirawat?

Dalam kebanyakan kes, anda boleh merawatnya dengan mengubah diet anda dan selalu bersenam. Doktor anda akan menasihatkan anda mengenai cara-cara mengawal tahap gula dalam darah dengan mengurangkan makanan dan minuman bergula. Anda akan dibantu dalam mengawal cara pemakanan anda dan dinasihatkan untuk memilih diet seimbang yang sihat yang terdiri daripada karbohidrat penuh bijiran, protin tanpa lemak dan lemak jenis baik.

Jika berat badan anda berlebihan sebelum anda hamil, anda disarankan untuk mengurangkan pengambilan kalori anda dan melakukan senaman ringan sekurang-kurangnya 30 minit setiap hari.

Anda akan diminta untuk mengawasi tahap gula dalam darah anda untuk mengetahui sama ada perubahan yang anda lakukan memberi kesan atau tidak – doktor anda akan menunjukkan caranya.

Anda perlu melakukan skan ultrasound untuk memeriksa keadaan pembesaran bayi anda dan jumlah cecair amnion anda.

Bagaimana jika saya tidak dapat mengawal penyakit saya dengan diet dan senaman?

Dalam kira-kira 10 hingga 20 peratus kes diabetis gestasi, keadaan tidak boleh dikawal dengan diet dan senaman, dan jika ini berlaku, anda perlu mengambil ubat untuk mengawal tahap gula dalam darah anda atau menyuntik insulin. Dalam kes sedemikian, anda akan diajar cara untuk menyuntik diri anda sendiri.

Apabila anda berada bersalin dan semasa bayi sedang dilahirkan, tahap gula dalam darah anda akan diawasi dan dikawal untuk menghalang daripada timbulnya sebarang masalah kepada bayi anda selepas kelahiran.

Adakah saya akan terus mempunyai diabetis selepas bayi saya dilahirkan?

Anda akan diperiksa sebelum anda meninggalkan hospital dan semasa pemeriksaan posnatum anda, ujian kencing manis juga akan dibuat. Dianggarkan sebanyak seorang dalam lima orang wanita yang didiagnosiskan dengan diabetis gestasi mempunyai diabetis jenis 2 yang sedia ada sebelum mereka hamil, jadi keadaan ini telah dapat dikesan semasa kehamilan .

Kebanyakan kes diabetis gestasi teresolusi sendiri selepas kelahiran apabila tahap gula dalam darah kembali normal.

Jika saya mempunyai diabetis gestasi sebelum ini, apakah kemungkinan saya menghidapinya lagi?

Sesetengah wanita yang biasa menghidapi diabetis gestasi, akan menghidapinya semula. Anggaran adalah amat berbeza – antara 30 dan 85 peratus akan menghidapinya lebih dari sekali.

Jika anda mempunyai diabetis gestasi sebelum ini, anda akan diminta mengawasi tahap gula dalam darah anda sendiri atau anda akan diberikan OGTT lebih awal, semasa kehamilan berada di minggu ke-16 hingga ke minggu ke-18 dan sekali lagi pada minggu ke-28, sekiranya penyakit itu tidak dikesan pada ujian pertama.

Jika anda mempunyai diabetis gestasi sebelum ini dan anda telah merawat diri dengan insulin, anda akan lebih cenderung menghidapinya semula; hanya seorang dalam empat orang wanita yang memerlukan rawatan insulin dahulunya, bebas dari penyakit ini pada kehamilan berikutnya.

Jika anda mempunyai diabetis gestasi sebelum ini, anda cenderung untuk mempunyai diabetis jenis 2 di kemudian hari. Anda akan diberikan nasihat mengenai cara mengekalkan diet seimbang, mengawal berat badan dan bersenam untuk mengurangkan kebarangkalian anda menghidapinya lagi.

Apa yang saya perlu lakukan jika saya sudah mempunyai diabetis sebelum saya hamil?

Jika anda mempunyai kencing manis dan merancang untuk hamil, ambil asid folik tambahan (5 miligram setiap hari) semasa anda sedang mencuba hendak hamil dan pada tiga bulan pertama kehamilan.

Kecacatan kelahiran adalah lebih tinggi dalam kehamilan diabetik berbanding dengan kehamilan biasa. Mengambil asid folik tambahan akan mencegah bayi anda daripada kecacatan kelahiran seperti spina bifida yang disebabkan oleh tiub saraf yang tidak tertutup dengan baik.

Cuba pastikan tahap gula dalam darah anda dikawal dengan baik sebelum anda hamil dan anda akan berada dalam keadaan yang lebih baik untuk mengawalnya sepanjang kehamilan anda. Ini akan mengurangkan risiko masalah kesihatan bertambah bagi anda dan bayi anda.

Kehamilan anda mungkin berisiko tinggi, tetapi ini tidak bermakna anda akan mengalami masalah, terutamanya jika anda terus mengawal tahap gula dalam darah anda pada tahap normal sebaik mungkin. (Baca dengan lebih lanjut mengenai diabetis dan kehamilan).

Bengkak pada tangan dan kaki (oedema)

 

Ditulis untuk BabyCenter Malaysia

 

 

• Mengapa buku lali dan jari kaki saya bengkak?
• Apakah yang boleh saya lakukan untuk mengurangkan bengkak?

Mengapa buku lali dan jari kaki saya bengkak?

Apa yang anda alami ini dipanggil oedema, iaitu keadaan di mana badan anda menyimpan terlalu banyak cecair. Ia berlaku akibat terdapatnya darah berlebihan dalam badan anda kerana anda hamil.

Apabila bayi anda semakin membesar, uterus (rahim) anda memberi tekanan kepada saluran darah di pelvis. Ini khususnya menjejaskan salur darah besar yang menerima darah daripada anggota badan bahagian bawah. Salur darah yang dipanggil vena kava bawah ini terletak pada bahagian kanan badan. Tekanan yang diterimanya menyebabkan peredaran darah di bahagian itu menjadi perlahan dan mengakibatkan darah terkumpul.

Tekanan daripada darah yang terkumpul ini memaksa air turun dan keluar melalui salur darah kecil (kapilari) masuk ke dalam tisu-tisu pada tapak kaki dan buku lali. Biasanya, air ini akan diserap oleh badan. Kadang kala, wanita hamil juga menyimpan lebih banyak air daripada biasa, dan ini menambahkan lagi kebengkakan.

Anda mungkin mendapati kebengkakan ini lebih teruk pada waktu petang dan malam, dan lega sedikit pada waktu pagi setelah anda tidur sepanjang malam. Menjelang petang, anda mungkin dapat lihat jika anda tekan kulit di sekitar buku lali, kulit itu tidak menganjal dan serta-merta kembali kepada keadaan asalnya. Menjelang penghujung kehamilan, tangan anda juga mungkin menjadi bengkak dan cincin yang anda pakai akan terasa ketat.

Malangnya, oedema semasa hamil adalah perkara biasa, terutamanya dalam trimester ketiga. Di antara 50 dan 80 peratus wanita hamil yang sihat akan mengalaminya. Cuaca panas seperti di negara kita juga memburukkan lagi keadaan ini.

Walau bagaimanapun, jika anda mengalami bengkak yang teruk pada muka, tangan atau tapak kaki, jumpalah doktor anda. Ini mungkin salah satu tanda pra-eklampsia, iaitu satu keadaan yang serius bagi anda dan bayi.

Apakah yang boleh saya lakukan untuk mengurangkan bengkak?

Ubat-ubatan jenis diuretik tidak sesuai digunakan semasa hamil. Ubat-ubatan jenis ini membuatkan buah pinggang mengeluarkan air dan sodium supaya anda kerap membuang air dan menghapuskan cecair yang berlebihan dengan cara itu. Anda boleh mencuba cara-cara lain untuk mengawal kebengkakan:

• Naikkan kaki bila-bila anda boleh, untuk membantu melancarkan peredaran darah. Jika di tempat kerja, letakkan bangku kecil atau kotak di bawah meja anda. Di rumah pula, cubalah baring mengiring ke kiri, kerana ini boleh mengurangkan tekanan pada vena kava bawah.
• Elakkan duduk atau berdiri terlalu lama tanpa berehat. Dan jangan cuba menyilang kaki semasa duduk.
• Pakailah seluar stoking sokongan (support tights) sebelum anda bangun dari katil pada waktu pagi supaya darah tidak berpeluang berkumpul di sekeliling buku lali. Jika ini tidak berjaya, tanyalah ahli farmasi atau doktor mengenai stoking tekanan (compression stockings).
• Minum banyak air. Yang peliknya, mengekalkan hidrasi dapat membantu badan anda mengurangkan penyimpanan air berlebihan.
• Bersenam selalu, terutamanya berjalan, berenang, atau dengan menggunakan basikal senaman.
• Jika anda membuat perjalanan jauh, berhentilah dengan kerap untuk meregangkan kaki.
• Makan makanan berkhasiat, dan elakkan makanan yang tinggi kandungan sodium dan garam seperti kacang masin, jeruk sayuran, telur masin dan ikan kering.
• Jika kulit anda tidak terlalu tegang dan sakit, anda boleh minta seseorang untuk mengurut buku lali dan tapak kaki anda, hingga ke lutut. Ini boleh membantu mengalihkan cecair keluar daripada tapak kaki.

Ingatlah, walaupun buku lali anda yang bengkak ini mungkin tidak menyelesakan, keadaan ini adalah sementara sahaja. Ia akan hilang sejurus anda melahirkan.

Kena Minum Air Gula! (Ulangan) Euwwwww!!!!

Rasanya dah lama aku x update blog... Malas sungguhhhh! Apa pun 26 Februari yang lepas nie aku kena wat ulangan minum air gula setelah test yang lepas invalid sebab aku muntah immediately pas minum air gula yang sungguh euwww itu.  So this time, aku lebih positive... Aku habiskan air gula secawan besar tu lambat, sbb aku hirup sikit2.  Setiap hirupan tu aku gambarkan aku sedang menikmati jus buah2an yang amat lazatttt.. Perghhhh Alhamdulillah aku berjaya x muntah sampai 2 jam pastu.  Resultnya akan dapat masa check maternity pada 28 Februari.  Alhamdulillah test ok, cuma doctor kata ada dpt trace sket protein dalam urine aku.  So i need some pemantauan dari pihak klinik.

Perghhh dapat bayangkan x, korang kena abiskan air gula yang pekat likat nie? Sib baik aku bawak air kosong.  Masih teringat2 akan ke'euwwww'an rasa air gula tu. Wekkkk!
