14 weeks

Hari ini bayinya sudah kelihatan nendang dan meninju2.

How your baby's growing:

This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.

In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

See what's going on in your uterus this week.

Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.

tv layar lebar

Dedet dan aku sedang menunggu giliran dokter ketika kita memperhatikan acara di trans. Melly G sedang nyanyi lagu Bunda. Dedet nanya, "kok orangnya lebar, ya?"
"Perbedaan perbandinga rasio tv dg format di siaran," jawabku dalam hati (aku sering menjawab atau memulai pembicaraan dg Dedet dalam hati :D).
Lalu aku menyambung pembicaraan ke Dedet dengan verbal. "Iya, ya. Kenapa sih tv layar lebar itu nggak menyesuaikan diri dengan format biasa kalau siarannya nggak layar lebar, ya?" Dedet udah terbiasa, langsung ngerti.
Iya, ya. Dasar tv2 bodoh :p

Air Minum

Situs ini memberikan keterangan mengenai beberapa cara filterisasi air dan komentar mengenai cara filtrasi tersebut. Beberapa hal yang mengejutkanku:
1. Memasak air adalah cara yang sangat membuang energi.
2. Bila melakukan reverse osmosis, mineral di dalam air hilang. Air yang tidak memiliki mineral justru sangat berbahaya karena menjadi lebih agresif (apakah justru air minum botol yang tidak memiliki mineral dapat membahayakan kita?)
3. Filtrasi menggunakan ultra violet (terdapat alat seperti bolpen yang digunakan untuk memfiltrasi gelas) sangat sulit untuk diukur keberhasilannya, karena memerlukan peralatan yang rumit.
4. Salah satu cara filtrasi yang sederhana adalah menggunakan aquarium charcoal. Bagian bawah halaman ini menunjukkan keterangan membuatnya.
5. Dari beberapa kota besar di US, terdapat banyak bahan berbahaya di dalam air minum mereka, termasuk pestisida dan logam berat.

Biasanya jarak air sumur dan septic tank minimal 10 meter. Artikel ini menunjukkan variabel lain yang dapat melanggar aturan tersebut.

Resistance is futile

This year (too late for resolutions?) I will stop resisting whatever that comes to me. I will embrace my path and just go wild with it. You will see me dancing in the rain this year. I urge you to stop marking your negative view of life and focus instead on the positive views and goals. Let's see how I can top last year (I made more money last year than all I did two years before by more than tenfold. Difficult? Appearantly not).
Join me? Face your fear and laugh at it. Embrace your life. I dare you.

3 bulan lagi?

Hitung-hitung, kok Little Indira masih 3 bulan ya? Hehehe, atau aku aja yang hitungnya terlalu optimis?
Anyway, salah satu perubahan yang dianjurkan Baby Center adalah mempersiapkan baby budget:

Make a baby budget. Sit down with your partner this week to discuss how you'll handle new-baby expenses — clothes, food, diapers, toys, and gear can add up fast. Brainstorm where you can trim your budget to make room for your baby's needs. Consider making some budget adjustments now — and start banking your savings for your baby.

Numerology name analysis -- Cosmic

Situs ini memberikan analisa gratis terhadap suatu nama. Ketika kumasukkan nama cosmic, analisanya pas: cosmis magistrate. Kalau ditambah jadi Cosmic Indira jadi berubah,
Namaku berarti the Magician, isinya benar2 seperti yang sedang kuhadapi, sesuai dengan doa seorang pendeta filipina (menurut temanku), jadi isinya masih menjengkelkan buatku.

"Name Number 7
The Magician - You will have to pass many tests before you come to the realization of your highest purpose in life. Appearance can be deceiving and you must learn the difference between the real and unreal, lasting values and the evanescent evaluation. The secrets of the universe may be opened to you and the mystic initiation is great within you. Study, prayer and meditation are the paths to your development. Eventually, you will evolve as an understanding and sympathetic individual with a great heart and noble soul. You may have many obstacles to overcome, however your determination to develop and evolve will give you the highest life rewards."

Susah amat sih. And I still won't have in any other way.

Dedet's, alah: Cosmic Orator. Cosmic lagi. Gila, jangan2 Dedet jadi dukun dan menerima hidayah bahwa nama bayi kita harusnya cosmic. Benar2 cosmic. Ayin, gimana ini?

Name Number 5
A Cosmic Orator – It is your purpose in life to spread the word, the word that will release men from bondage. This will cause revolution for the end of tolerance and freedom to be reached. Before your goal is reached, you will have many experiences and will travel to many places. Struggling against your destiny will make you impulsive and disagreeable in a vociferous way. Adaptability is your trait; make use of it to reach your goal.

Minggu ke 11

Bayi:
Memiliki tangan dan kaki, bayi dapat membuka dan menutup telapak tangannya. Bayi seharusnya telah mampu menendang, namun belum terasa oleh kuping kami.

Ibu:
Mual-mual berlanjut. Kini, bahkan makanan yang disukaipun dapat mendorong perasaan mual. Rasa mual dapat dikurangi dengan obat, namun kurang dianjurkan. Untungnya nafsu makannya masih bagus, masih ada makanan yang masuk. Barusan, Dedet tidak meneruskan makanannya. Sepertinya dia mulai sensitif sama bau makanannya.


Ayah:
Rasa grogi karena kedatangan bayi sudah mulai hilang, digantikan dengan perkiraan perhitungan yang lebih jelas.
Mayah mayah jadi berkurang, rasa eneg juga berkurang. Jengkel karena setiap kali Ibu mual, there's little or nothing that Ayah can do.


Dari babycenter.com:

How your baby's growing:
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
See what's going on in your uterus this week.

How your life's changing:
If you're like most women, you're feeling a bit more energetic now and your nausea may be starting to wane. Unfortunately, you may also be suffering from constipation (caused by hormonal changes, which can slow digestion) and heartburn (hormones again, relaxing the valve between your stomach and esophagus). Just remember, all this discomfort is for a good cause.
Don't worry if nausea has made it impossible for you to eat a wide variety of healthy foods or if you haven't put on much weight yet (most women gain just 2 to 5 pounds during the first trimester). Your appetite will likely return soon, and you'll start to gain about a pound a week.
Learn which of your symptoms are normal and which are a sign that something might be wrong. You're probably also wondering things like, Can I keep going to dance class? Could the air bags in my car hurt my baby? Which cold medications are safe to take now? Find out what's safe and what's not during pregnancy.

Tambahan dari Baby Center memperingatkan agar jangan mengkonsumsi jus buah atau susu yang tidak dipasteurisasi, karena ada kemungkinan kontaminasi E.coli.
"

Q1.

What foods should I stay away from during pregnancy?
Some types of seafood are a concern during pregnancy because they may contain significant levels of pollutants such as methylmercury, which may cause harm to a child's developing brain. On the other hand, there are benefits to eating seafood: It's a good source of protein and the primary source of certain omega-3 fatty acids that may benefit your baby's vision and brain development. The key is to choose those fish with the lowest levels of contaminants and eat them in moderation.

To minimize your exposure to methylmercury, the Food and Drug Administration advises that you completely avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish (also called golden or white snapper). The agency says that pregnant women can safely eat up to 12 ounces (about two servings) a week of other cooked commercially caught fish. However, this should include no more than 6 ounces of albacore ("white") tuna or tuna steaks, which contain more mercury than canned light tuna. Some experts think this threshold is too high and recommend limiting tuna consumption to no more than 6 ounces of canned light tuna and avoiding other tuna altogether.

Also, never eat any fish caught by family or friends without first checking with local health advisories to make sure the fish isn't from waters with unsafe levels of mercury and other pollutants. Finally, avoid raw or undercooked fish (including uncooked smoked or pickled fish) when you're pregnant. It may harbor bacteria or parasites that could make you sick and possibly affect your developing baby.

Others foods to avoid include unpasteurized soft cheese, refrigerated pâté, raw or undercooked meat and poultry, cold deli meats, and foods that contain raw eggs (such as Caesar salad dressing, hollandaise sauce, and cookie batter) because they may contain harmful bacteria.

Q2.

What drinks should I avoid?
Alcohol is the main offender during pregnancy. It travels quickly from your bloodstream to your baby, and even one drink a day can increase your baby's risk of a problem. There's no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it completely. The other drinks to steer clear of are unpasteurized juice and milk, and eggnog. There's a slight risk that these beverages could contain E. coli or other bacteria that could harm you and your baby.

While you may have heard that caffeine is another big no-no during pregnancy, it's actually okay in moderation. After years of controversy, most researchers now believe that, although caffeine does cross the placenta, moderate amounts (less than 300 milligrams a day) won't harm your baby. That's about what you'd get from two to three 8-ounce cups of coffee. (However, you could get that much from just one 8-ounce cup if it's brewed very strong.) And be aware that caffeine lurks in other places, such as chocolate, tea, cola, and many other soft drinks.

Q3.

How can I protect myself from food poisoning? • Cook all meat, poultry, and fish thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to test the internal temperature of meat, or cook it until it's no longer pink in the middle.
• Don't eat cold cuts or deli meat, refrigerated pâtés or meat spreads, or refrigerated smoked or pickled fish unless they're cooked until they're steaming hot (say, on a pizza or in a casserole or hot sandwich).
• Don't leave leftovers out for more than two hours. Reheat them until steaming before you eat them.
• Keep uncooked meat separate from other foods.
• Use hot soapy water to wash your hands — and any surface that comes in contact with unwashed produce; uncooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs; hot dogs; and deli meat — before you touch clean produce or cooked meat so you don't contaminate your food.
• Consume perishable and ready-to-eat food as soon as possible after you buy it, especially once you've opened the package, even if it hasn't yet passed the "use-by" date. The use-by date refers to unopened products."

Konsul kedua kita ke JMC, dengan dokter yang terkenal bisa melahirkan di air. Sayangnya JMC tidak menyediakan fasilitas tersebut. Dibandingkan dengan YPK, JMC hampir 50% lebih murah dalam harga paket melahirkan. Aku masih penasaran ingin bertanya mengenai melahirkan di air dan meneliti lebih lanjut pengaruh dari proses tersebut.

When you're in a drowning car

Water will quickly fill your car cabin. There's nothing you can do with your body or small dull objects to crack any car window open, the water pressure is too hard. IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO CRASH WINDOWS BECAUSE IT WILL FLOW TOWARD YOU. This is what you do

**Kalau kamu di mobil dan mobilmu tenggelam, air akan segera memenuhi kabin mobilmu. Kamu tidak akan bisa membuka pintu karena tekanan air mendorong pintu mobilmu. Jangan memecahkan kaca jendela, karena air akan mendorong kaca jendela kemukamu.

1. Don't panic. You will waste all your oxygen that you otherwise need to survive. By not being panic you could do more and use oxygen less.

** Jangan panik. Kamu akan menyia-nyiakan oksigen yang akan kamu perlukan. Dengan bersikap tenang, kamu akan dapat bergerak lebih bebas dan tahan lebih lama dalam posisi menahan nafas.

2. Take a deep breath at the last minute and hold when there's absolutely no air left.

**Ambil nafas panjang dan tahan pada saat-saat terakhir.

3. Wait for the water to completely fill your car cabin. This way the pressure inside your car will be equal to outside. Calmly open your door and swim outside. If you're stuck, let yourself go without losing your calm.

**Tunggu sampai air memenuhi kabin mobilmu sepenuhnya. Saat ini tekanan di dalam mobilmu akan sama dengan tekanan air di luar mobil. Buka pintu mobil dan berenang keluar dengan tenang. Kalau kamu tersangkut, lepaskan dirimu dengan tenang.

OLPC

OLPC, one laptop per child, adalah usaha gigih untuk menekan biaya laptop agar dapat digunakan di dalam lingkungan pendidikan untuk negara berkembang. Sejauh ini, Indonesia belum memiliki program untuk berpartisipasi di dalam projek ini. Kini telah ada versi membeli 100 laptop seharga 29.900 USD atau sekitar`281 juta. Dengan membeli laptop minimal 100 buah, kita dapat menentukan ke mana laptop tersebut dihantar. Jumlah itu bukanlah besar untuk perusahaan. Jadi jumlahnya sudah sangat kecil. Aku seperti disentil. Sekelompok orang telah menyediakan jalan untuk mempermudah akses pendidikan dan informasi untuk orang lain, apa yang dapat aku lakukan untuk memberikan ini ke yang membutuhkan?

Capek dengerin lagu lullaby nya dixie chick mulu

Nggak ngerti gimana cara menjelaskan rasa sayang ke anak. Berusaha mengerti untuk dijelaskan dengan kata-kata, jadinya menangis sendirian. Lucu deh. Nggak tahu kenapa nangis, mungkin untuk hal lain. Kenapa sih orang tua sayang ke anak2 nya?
Aduh ini Little Indira belum lahir, tapi kasihan bebannya berat banget sih tuh anak. Hehehe. Jadi kebayang kenapa anak itu selalu ditekan sama orang tua, jangan melakukan kesalahan saya. Mereka di drive oleh rasa sayang mereka untuk mempersiapkan anak2 mereka, tapi jadinya mereka hanya mencalarkan (bruise) anak-anak mereka.
Aku pengennya hanya membiarkan Little Indira memilih apa yang dia inginkan, informed decision tentunya. Aku pengen dia belajar vicariously, tapi melalui other significant others, seperti om dan tantenya. Rasa keterikatan ini, sayangnya, hanya milikku, milik orang tua. Anak-anak hanya sayang sepanjang badan sama orang tuanya, bukan sepanjang jalan.
Jadi kasihan sama G. Dia sendiri yang ngerasain hamil.
Eh, kasihan apa iri ya?

Week 6

Aku baru bangun sekitar setengah sepuluh malam, tidur dari maghrib. G lebih terganggu dengan mual, katanya dia kebangun2 terus malam2. Mungkin latihan untuk agb (agebayi) nya kali. Aku bilang, kalau malam2 kan bisa gantian. Nyusunya, tanyanya. Ya pake susu kamu yang udah dibotolin. Oh bisa ya? Suami kereeen. Hehehe
Aku sebel, kenapa nggak aku aja yang mual. Sekarang sih G udah tidur.

Terinspirasi dengan dengan permainan time machine dan dari pengalamanku dengan permainan itu di masa lalu, aku tertarik untuk meninggalkan sesuatu di masa ini untuk Little Indira. Sejak tahu KITA hamil, aku sudah mulai menulis surat untuk agb. setelah berapa lama, aku baru sadar kalau.. ternyata suratnya bahasa inggris. Ya udah, berarti agb nya harus bisa 5 bahasa, ya Sy (Dessy)? Semoga dia bisa baca surat itu

Dulu G sempat mual dengan obiplus, multivitamin yang ia konsumsi. Seperti yang kuletakkan di blog, salah satu alternatif penyelesaiannya adalah multivitamin yang bisa dikunyah (chewable) yang punya rasa buah. E bilang di Jerman itu mahal, tapi ternyata kalau di indonesia kaya'nya penyelesaiannya di toko obat yang ada di sebelah hero itu (lupa, guardian?). Harganya nggak terlalu beda dari obimin, tapi kaya'nya nggak ada minyak ikan. Setelah kita pikir2 mungkin memang hanya minyak ikannya yang bikin G mual. Nggak jadi deh, beli vitaminnya. Jadi nggak tahu, kalau chewable di toko itu rasa buah atau nggak. Tapi sekarang kaya'nya G nggak ngomong2 lagi soal itu.

So, what's going on in with Little Indira? http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-6-weeks_1095.bc
Sac nya udah besar, mungkin sebentar lagi dia bisa pindah ke sac tersebut. G terakhir itu September awal, jadi mungkin saja ini sudah 8 bulan. Dengan perubahan kimiawi ini dan akibatnya pada emosi G, aku jadi bertanya2, sebenarnya emosi kita itu adalah sesuatu yang dapat kita kendalikan atau hanya produk sampingan dari reaksi kimia saja? Kalau jawaban yang terakhi itu benar, berarti semua interaksi kita selama hidup dan persepsi kita terhadap hidup, kebudayaan, sejarah itu tidak ada gunanya sama sekali. Kita hidup hanya untuk mati, menjadi bagian dari siklus hidup dan menjadi bagian dari sampah dunia untuk dikonsumsi oleh makhluk lainnya.
Aku ingin hidupku bermakna. Aku ingin membantu orang lain, aku ingin orang lain hidup lebih mudah dengan lahirnya aku. Aku ingin memperbaiki sesuatu, membuat sesuatu, aku ingin menyumbangkan sesuatu yang riil dan praktis, sesuatu yang gampang dan sederhana namun sepenting seperti peniti. Karena itu selama ini, aku selalu punya proyek2 kecil yang kupikir dapat membantu orang lain untuk memperbaiki hidup mereka, kemudian menularkannya ke orang lain.

Perubahan padaku: put it mildly, konsepku mengenai sebuah "home" itu jadi berubah. Semenjak menikah, aku mulai belajar untuk mencintai sesuatu melebihi cintaku pada diriku sendiri. Untungnya, tidak sesuai perkiraanku, perasaan memberi itu justru memberikan sesuatu padaku, sebuah pemahaman dan kesadaran yang lebih besar dari sekedar diri sendiri.
I am a family man, there I said. it. I am also a member of ISTI (Ikatan Suami Takut Istri), kalau arti takut itu adalah selalu mempertimbangkan pendapat istri dalam semua aspek dalam hidupku. Siklus hidup cowo itu jauh lebih sederhana dari siklus hidup cewe. Mereka memang deserve ketahanan tubuh yang lebih tinggi dan ekspektansi hidup yang lebih panjang, fungsi dan kebutuhan mereka jauh melebihi cowo. Cowo juga lebih nggak tahan hidup ditinggal mati pasangannya dibandingkan cewe.

Uh, Ipod goblok. Nggak bisa satu lagu repeat terus-menerus ya? Aku lagi tertarik sama lagu ini saja. Mungkin lagunya ada di kumpulan musik yang sudah kuupload di blog ini.

Dixie Chicks - Lullaby

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

Someday you gotta dance -- Getting ahold of myself.

An old friend reminded me that these weird quirks make me myself, that's my plus. Everything that could go wrong did this morning and I was terrible at constructing my attitude towards it. After a long look at myself, I'm feeling more controlled and calm. Someday you gotta dance, just go with the flow and accept your being there. It's true what G said, I should look forward. I should also look at what I have now, because this is what I have. This life. Looking forward is good for setting goal, and looking backward is good for remembering where you came from. I thought I should share this before I forgot.

Beautiful girls

Ketika semua orang memusuhi mereka dan menyuruh mereka untuk "shut up and sing", ketiga gadis kuat ini terus saja menyatakan pendapat mereka. Mereka teguh, lirik mereka kuat, balad mereka menyentuh, mereka punya penampilan yang menawan dan mereka musisi yang handal.
Serius, gue minder cuma ngebaca artikel mereka doang (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1187173,00.html).
Oh ya, dua dari mereka berkeluarga, dan keluarga mereka menyesuaikan kehidupan mereka mengelilingi jadwal cewek2 ini.
Jadi kangen Rida Sita Dewi.

The Nearness of You Lyrics

"When the fear sinks in, I'm glad you're here."

Song's name: The Nearness of You
Song info: (3:07) Lyrics - Music: Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington
Lyrics: Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Mengunduh flv dari Youtube

Sebelum kita mulai, flv itu adalah tipe file video Youtube (http://youtube.com). Enda (http://profiles.friendster.com/48727092) sering mengunduh klip Eddie Izzard. Aku jadi suka juga. Belakangan aku mengunduh banyak klip Izzard dan berusaha untuk memasukkannya ke Ipod G (http://profiles.friendster.com/6928041). Aku sudah mencoba hampir semua hasil search flv ipod di download.com, hanya untuk mengetahui download manager yang paling bagus adalah free download manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/), download manager yang sedang kupakai. Untuk transfer ke mp4 versi Ipod, ada plugin yang bisa di download, sehingga fdm bisa display dan convert flv yang di download ke dalam beberapa bentuk video.
A good lesson. As Neng (http://profiles.friendster.com/6602356) would say, there's something new to learn everyday. I hate it when she's right about that.

Cerita Lahiran

Barusan baca cerita lahiran. Lucu dan terharu. Masih grogi.

Vitamin untuk Ibu Hamil

Biasanya, ibu hamil akan dilengkapi dengan vitamin untuk mempersiapkan tubuh mereka di dalam tugasnya mengembangkan janin bayi. Ada beberapa ketentuan vitamin yang diperlukan oleh ibu hamil. Salah satunya adalah asam folik (folic acid), yang merupakan salah satu sumber vitamin B9. Menurut wiki, asam folik adalah suplemen yang harus dikonsumsi wanita dalam takaran tertentu dan oleh ibu hamil dalam takaran dua kali lipat wanita tidak hamil.
Ada banyak vitamin yang tersedia, tinggal memperhatikan isinya saja.

Contoh:

Obimin-AF tab
CONTENTS Vit A 6,000 u, vit B1 10 mg, vit B2 2.5 mg, vit B6 15 mg, vit B12 4 mcg, vit C 100 mg, vit D 400 u, niacinamide 20 mg, Ca pantothenate 7.5 mg, folic acid 1 mg, Fe fumarate 90 mg, Ca lactate 250 mg, copper 0.1 mg, iodine 0.1 mg, Na fluoride 1 mg

Obipluz Soft cap
CONTENTS Vit A 3,000 iu, vit D 200 iu, vit E 30 iu, vit B1 2 mg, vit B2 2 mg, vit B6 3 mg, vit B12 3 mcg, folic acid 1,000 mcg, Ca pantothenate 8 mg, biotin 35 mcg, nicotinamide 20 mg, vit C 100 mg, elemental Fe (as Fe sulfate) 30 mg, iodine 150 mcg, Ca carbonate 100 mg, Zn sulfate 15 mg, Mg sulfate 5 mg, manganese sulfate 1 mg, cupric sulfate 1,000 mcg, natural fish oil 500 mg, omega-3 fish oil (DHA 105 mg + EPA 20 mg) 135 mg

Kalau mual makan vitamin, ada alternatif untuk memilih vitamin yang bisa dikunyah (chewable). Biasanya ada rasa buah-buahan, contohnya: Bronson's no. 173. Gambar di samping adalah isi dari produk tersebut. Kalau bisa beli sendiri, beli sendiri aja (tetap dengan panduan dokter, tentunya). Bronson's itu harganya $ 10, untuk 120 tablet. Kita bayar $9 untuk 25 butir Obipluz dan Elkana di RS Bunda (Harga yang mereka tagih di RS Bunda tidak mahal kok, aku sudah check di asia.mimsonline.com). Menurutku Bronson's bisa nawarin murah gitu hanya untuk daerah US.

Menjelang satu bulan, pertumbuhan bayi sangat cepat dan sangat penting. Jadi usahakan kebutuhan gizi bayi terpenuhi melalui ibunya.

Untuk ukuran dada yang tiba-tiba membesar, aku baca salah satu tips untuk mengurangi rasa tidak nyaman di babycenter.com adalah dengan memakai bra yang lebih nyaman.
Easing breast pain "I found out I was pregnant and boom — my breasts got really tender right away. So I started wearing my sports bra all the time. It really helped ease my discomfort." — Jennifer

Untuk rasa sakit di ulu hati, situs ini membahasnya, saran dari sesama ibu hamil adalah lebih banyak minum air. Berbeda dari temanku yang tidak ingin information overload, aku lebih prefer vicarious learning. Tidak ada salahnya belajar dari yang pernah mengalaminya.


Terakhir: kutipan folic acid mengenai pregnancy dari wikipedia

Pregnancy

Folic acid is very important for all women who may become pregnant. Adequate folate intake during the periconceptional period, the time just before and just after a woman becomes pregnant, helps protect against a number of congenital malformations including neural tube defects.^[8] Neural tube defects result in malformations of the spine (spina bifida), skull, and brain (anencephaly). The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet prior to and during the first month following conception.^[9][10] Women who could become pregnant are advised to eat foods fortified with folic acid or take supplements in addition to eating folate-rich foods to reduce the risk of some serious birth defects. Taking 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily from fortified foods and/or supplements has been suggested. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folate equivalents for pregnant women is 600-800 micrograms, twice the normal RDA of 400 micrograms for women who are not pregnant.^[11]

Kaya'nya minggu ke empat deh

Mungkin Little Indira baru 4 minggu.

How your baby's growing:

This week marks the beginning of the embryonic period. From now until ten weeks, all of your baby's organs will begin to develop and some will even begin to function. As a result, this is the time when she'll be most vulnerable to anything that might interfere with her development.

Right now your baby is an embryo the size of a poppy seed, consisting of two layers: the epiblast and the hypoblast, from which all of her organs and body parts will develop.

The primitive placenta is also made up of two layers at this point. Its cells are tunneling into the lining of your uterus, creating spaces for your blood to flow so that the developed placenta will be able to provide nutrients and oxygen to your growing baby when it starts to function at the end of this week.

Also present now are the amniotic sac, which will house your baby; the amniotic fluid, which will cushion her as she grows; and the yolk sac, which produces your baby's red blood cells and helps deliver nutrients to her until the placenta has developed and is ready to take over this duty.

Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.

How your life's changing:

Sometime this week, you may be able to find out whether you're pregnant. For the most accurate results, wait until the end of the week to take a home pregnancy test. (You can try one now if you like, but you're more likely to get a correct result a week past your expected period.)

If the test is positive, call your practitioner's office and schedule your first prenatal appointment. Most practitioners won't see you until you're about eight weeks along, unless you have a medical condition, had problems with a previous pregnancy, or are having symptoms that need to be checked out.

If you're taking any medications — prescription or over-the-counter — ask now whether it's safe to keep taking them. And be sure to alert your caregiver to any other issues of concern.

You should already be taking a multivitamin that contains at least 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid. Once you're pregnant, you'll need a bit more — 600 mcg a day — so switch to a prenatal vitamin if you haven't already.
