✨ Conception Day 101: Tuesday OB Tips by Doc Joie ✨

“Doc, kelan po nabuo si baby?” 😩

Kung regular ka (28–30-day cycle), most likely fertile ka 2 weeks bago ang next regla mo — around day 14 to 16.
👉 Ang Day 1 ng cycle mo ay unang araw na lumabas ang red blood.

🩸 Example:
Kung nagregla ka ng October 1, that’s your Day 1.
So kung 28-day cycle ka, ang fertile period mo ay around October 14.
Any contact 6 days before and during your fertile day = mataas ang chance na mabuo si baby 👶💕
Lalong lalo na if it’s closer to your ovulation day!

💡 Why We Use LMP (Last Menstrual Period) to Compute AOG — Not the Fertile Period

Most women don’t know the exact day of ovulation or fertilization —
pero halos lahat naaalala kung kailan nagsimula ang huling regla.
That’s why we use LMP as a uniform and reliable reference point.

🩸 LMP = Day 1 of your menstrual cycle, when the first red blood appears.
From this, we estimate ovulation — around day 14 (for a 28-day cycle) —
but since timing can vary, LMP gives us a consistent “starting point.”

💕 Every pregnancy has its own story,
but your LMP helps us trace when that miracle began. 🌸

🌸 Gyne Tip for the Day! 🌸
Know your cycle! 🩸

A normal menstrual cycle typically ranges from 21 to 35 days (average of 28 days).
Meaning, if your period comes regularly within this range, that’s normal!

🩷 Too short (35 days)?
Better check with your OB-GYN to make sure your hormones are balanced and everything’s healthy down there.

🌸 Recommended Ultrasound Schedule — Even on a Budget

👶 Para sa mga buntis na nagpapacheck-up sa lying-in o health center

Mommies, alam niyo ba? 🩷
Kahit limitado ang budget, importante pa rin magpa-ultrasound para masigurong healthy si baby at walang ibang problema.
Tip from Doc Joie kung kailan pinakamahalagang magpa-ultrasound sa pagbubuntis: 👇

1️⃣ First Trimester Ultrasound (less than 14 weeks) at 12 weeks
👉 Pinaka-importanteng early scan — tinatawag na dating scan o viability scan.
📌 Purpose:
• Tukuyin kung nasa loob ng matres si baby (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
• Malamang kung ilan ang babies
• Makumpirma ang tamang due date (EDD)

2️⃣ Second Trimester / Anomaly Scan (18 to 24) at 20 weeks
👉 Dito sinusuri ang kabuuang anatomy ni baby — ulo, puso, spine, tiyan, kamay, paa, at mga internal organs.
📌 Purpose:
• Tiyaking walang major congenital problems
• Masuri ang placenta at dami ng amniotic fluid
• (Optional) Maalaman ang s*x ni baby

3️⃣ Third Trimester Ultrasound – (32 to 36 weeks) at 36 weeks
👉 Tinitingnan kung tama ang paglaki ni baby, posisyon (cephalic o breech), at kondisyon ng fluid at placenta.
📌 Purpose:
• Macheck kung maliit o malaki si baby sa edad ng pagbubuntis
• Masuri kung handa na para sa normal delivery
• Matsek ang panubigan

Tandaan: Kahit simple lang ang check-up mo, basta’t nasusubaybayan ang paglaki at kalagayan ni baby — malaking tulong na ‘yan para sa safe pregnancy!🫶

📌Ang recommendation na eto ay para sa mga low risks mommies. This is not applicable sa High-risk pregnant mommies, so better seek consult with your obgyne.🥰
