Speaker 2: I am pregnanty.

5
00:00:26,829 --> 00:00:30,069
Speaker 1: Welcome to Hello Bump. We're making pregnancy less overwhelming and

6
00:00:30,269 --> 00:00:33,269
Speaker 1: more manageable, hopefully. I'm gracery very I'm pregnant for the

7
00:00:33,309 --> 00:00:36,509
Speaker 1: first time and my diet is now just bread and veggimind,

8
00:00:36,629 --> 00:00:37,629
Speaker 1: oh that's my good.

9
00:00:37,869 --> 00:00:40,069
Speaker 2: I'm Jana Pittman. I'm an ex Olympian, I'm a mother

Speaker 1: Each episode, Yanna and I will be holding your hand

12
00:00:44,309 --> 00:00:47,589
Speaker 1: week by week through the mysterious, perplexing and sometimes still

13
00:00:47,789 --> 00:00:53,349
Speaker 1: nauseating miry coole that is pregnancy Week ten. Week ten.

14
00:00:53,509 --> 00:00:55,549
Speaker 1: How big is our baby? Well?

15
00:00:55,629 --> 00:00:57,029
Speaker 2: I love this week because I think it's supposed to

16
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:58,709
Speaker 2: be the same size as a date, or some peanut

17
00:00:58,749 --> 00:01:01,469
Speaker 2: butter on a spoon, or a lipstick.

18
00:01:01,509 --> 00:01:02,349
Speaker 1: A strawbery.

19
00:01:02,469 --> 00:01:04,229
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that straw is much nicer than the ones

20
00:01:04,269 --> 00:01:07,789
Speaker 2: I came up with. About three centimeters, so pretty big.

21
00:01:07,949 --> 00:01:08,629
Speaker 1: If you look at it's like.

22
00:01:08,629 --> 00:01:10,069
Speaker 2: The length of the from your finger with a little

23
00:01:10,189 --> 00:01:12,029
Speaker 2: you know where your knuckle is in the middle, it's quite.

24
00:01:11,869 --> 00:01:14,789
Speaker 1: Long's and again it's a big jump, seem yeah, we're

25
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:17,469
Speaker 1: starting all those smaller ones from the speck of dust.

26
00:01:17,589 --> 00:01:20,389
Speaker 1: Do it to a poppy seed doesn't really feel that much,

27
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:22,309
Speaker 1: but once you can attach it to an object, it

28
00:01:22,309 --> 00:01:26,709
Speaker 1: does feel more real. Poor sure, and what is happening

29
00:01:26,709 --> 00:01:28,909
Speaker 1: inside that little Are they still in a sack? Well?

30
00:01:28,909 --> 00:01:31,189
Speaker 2: Actually this is exciting because now at ten weeks they're

31
00:01:31,189 --> 00:01:34,829
Speaker 2: officially a fetus. So they go from an embryo, you know,

32
00:01:34,909 --> 00:01:36,749
Speaker 2: that's what we call it medically, to being a fetus.

33
00:01:36,749 --> 00:01:38,829
Speaker 2: So it's really it marks the end of that embryonic period.

34
00:01:38,909 --> 00:01:41,349
Speaker 2: So lots of things still happen growth wise, but it's

35
00:01:41,349 --> 00:01:42,469
Speaker 2: a lot more human like.

36
00:01:42,589 --> 00:01:45,429
Speaker 1: Now what happens to the sack? Does it all become

37
00:01:45,589 --> 00:01:46,789
Speaker 1: part of the fetus?

38
00:01:47,029 --> 00:01:49,389
Speaker 2: Well, the gestational sack around is where all your amniotic

39
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:52,749
Speaker 2: fluid and things are okay, so it's a large portion

40
00:01:52,829 --> 00:01:54,629
Speaker 2: of it. The yolk second, things gets absorbed, but the

41
00:01:54,669 --> 00:01:57,269
Speaker 2: actual sack around it is the whole part of the

42
00:01:57,269 --> 00:01:59,869
Speaker 2: pregnancy where the placentre is on the outside of it,

43
00:01:59,909 --> 00:02:01,949
Speaker 2: attached to the maternal wall, to the mother, whether the

44
00:02:02,029 --> 00:02:03,749
Speaker 2: vessels coming through, then you got your ambilical cord then

45
00:02:03,829 --> 00:02:04,749
Speaker 2: comes into the baby.

46
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:07,989
Speaker 1: This moving and forming and changing of the fetus feels

47
00:02:08,029 --> 00:02:10,069
Speaker 1: like a human version of a kaleidoscope.

48
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:12,069
Speaker 2: You basically in and out and in and out.

49
00:02:13,549 --> 00:02:19,069
Speaker 1: What's happening to me and what's happening to us, to

50
00:02:19,189 --> 00:02:22,789
Speaker 1: the vessel creatingman, to the woman creating this baby.

51
00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:25,069
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully your nausea and vomiting is reducing.

52
00:02:25,269 --> 00:02:28,189
Speaker 1: That is not in my case natually.

53
00:02:28,269 --> 00:02:30,469
Speaker 2: I think this may or may not be an ongoing

54
00:02:30,469 --> 00:02:33,509
Speaker 2: weekly thing. Yes, you're utriest is now about the size

55
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:35,749
Speaker 2: of an orange, so we've gone from a tennis ball

56
00:02:35,749 --> 00:02:38,229
Speaker 2: to an orange, and you might be feeling a little

57
00:02:38,269 --> 00:02:41,149
Speaker 2: more laxicity in your pelvis and from a muscle perspective,

58
00:02:41,149 --> 00:02:43,429
Speaker 2: but interestingly, your baby's burons are starting to harden from

59
00:02:43,469 --> 00:02:45,949
Speaker 2: the cartilage, so you're getting softer and they're becoming stronger.

60
00:02:46,109 --> 00:02:48,589
Speaker 1: Is this way? I did a pilates class and they said,

61
00:02:48,629 --> 00:02:51,309
Speaker 1: just be careful of something a movement with your hips

62
00:02:51,789 --> 00:02:54,789
Speaker 1: because you're too flexible at the moment. What does that mean?

63
00:02:55,189 --> 00:02:57,869
Speaker 2: It's that progesterone again, so obviously partly to do with

64
00:02:57,989 --> 00:03:00,749
Speaker 2: estugen as well, but largely progesterone is the main, it's

65
00:03:00,749 --> 00:03:03,189
Speaker 2: a relaxing So basically it drops all the laxicity in

66
00:03:03,229 --> 00:03:05,429
Speaker 2: your vessels and your muscles and your pelvis, in your bones,

67
00:03:05,429 --> 00:03:07,669
Speaker 2: so everything sort of gets ready to accommodate the pregnancy

68
00:03:07,749 --> 00:03:09,869
Speaker 2: but also to birth because you know they do come

69
00:03:09,869 --> 00:03:12,829
Speaker 2: out down below from the vagina and then you need

70
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:15,749
Speaker 2: to have that ability to pass a full term fetus.

71
00:03:16,669 --> 00:03:17,309
Speaker 1: Is this normal?

72
00:03:17,469 --> 00:03:18,629
Speaker 2: Is it normal? So?

73
00:03:18,789 --> 00:03:21,509
Speaker 1: My is this normal? Question I have for you today, Yana,

74
00:03:21,709 --> 00:03:26,069
Speaker 1: is my skin has gotten worse, and everyone talks about

75
00:03:26,069 --> 00:03:29,429
Speaker 1: this pregnancy, So I want to know if I'm not

76
00:03:29,549 --> 00:03:31,149
Speaker 1: hot yet, when am I going to get hot?

77
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:33,669
Speaker 2: And you mean hot warm, or you mean I'm already?

78
00:03:35,229 --> 00:03:37,229
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I've got a question about that in

79
00:03:37,269 --> 00:03:41,869
Speaker 1: another few episodes about the myth of the heightened libido

80
00:03:41,949 --> 00:03:44,069
Speaker 1: that I would like to say is a myth. I'll

81
00:03:44,069 --> 00:03:47,029
Speaker 1: get to that. But my main question is why am

82
00:03:47,109 --> 00:03:49,109
Speaker 1: I not hot yet? Why don't I look like I'm glowing?

83
00:03:49,269 --> 00:03:49,549
Speaker 1: And look?

84
00:03:49,709 --> 00:03:51,269
Speaker 2: That is if it hard, isn't it? Because some women's

85
00:03:51,269 --> 00:03:53,989
Speaker 2: had to have beautiful glowing hair and face and things

86
00:03:54,029 --> 00:03:56,229
Speaker 2: like that, and your weight and your weight, and it

87
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:58,189
Speaker 2: regularly it doesn't happen. In facted often you get active

88
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:58,589
Speaker 2: and you look.

89
00:03:58,549 --> 00:03:59,149
Speaker 1: Like a teenager.

90
00:03:59,429 --> 00:04:02,509
Speaker 2: Yes, all moans again, unfortunately.

91
00:04:02,189 --> 00:04:04,989
Speaker 1: Just diagnosed with pregnancy, with pregnancy again.

92
00:04:05,349 --> 00:04:07,109
Speaker 2: And look, you know, I think it depends also what

93
00:04:07,149 --> 00:04:09,309
Speaker 2: you're carrying. I know, I know this is mostly an

94
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:11,109
Speaker 2: old wive's tale, but like a lot of women report

95
00:04:11,109 --> 00:04:13,429
Speaker 2: when they're carrying boys, they have more hair around their

96
00:04:13,469 --> 00:04:15,429
Speaker 2: nipples and breakouts of pimples. But it's going to be

97
00:04:15,469 --> 00:04:17,869
Speaker 2: how your body regulates hormones. And again, everybody's different.

98
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:21,909
Speaker 1: Is there any science to the old wives tale of

99
00:04:22,309 --> 00:04:25,909
Speaker 1: a sex determining the foods you like, whether you're salty

100
00:04:25,989 --> 00:04:28,709
Speaker 1: or sweet, or carrying high or low? Or is that

101
00:04:28,949 --> 00:04:30,589
Speaker 1: literally just a normal life tale.

102
00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:32,589
Speaker 2: So I actually ask this of one of my obstetric

103
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:34,309
Speaker 2: consultants because I'm like, there's got to be something, And

104
00:04:34,349 --> 00:04:36,829
Speaker 2: her answer is there's always some truth behind a myth,

105
00:04:36,869 --> 00:04:38,749
Speaker 2: otherwise it wouldn't exist in the first place. But whether

106
00:04:38,789 --> 00:04:42,029
Speaker 2: it has any factual academic evidence largely not, or we'd

107
00:04:42,069 --> 00:04:44,149
Speaker 2: be recommending it for women all the time, if you

108
00:04:44,189 --> 00:04:44,629
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

109
00:04:44,709 --> 00:04:46,749
Speaker 1: So, okay, so I'm not gonna get hot or just

110
00:04:46,949 --> 00:04:49,029
Speaker 1: move on, which it might get hot, just give it

111
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:53,389
Speaker 1: a few more weeks. Temperature hot that put that affirmation

112
00:04:53,469 --> 00:04:56,389
Speaker 1: at it as well. What are some important things we

113
00:04:56,429 --> 00:04:57,349
Speaker 1: need to do this week.

114
00:04:58,109 --> 00:04:59,629
Speaker 2: This is the start of the week where you can

115
00:04:59,749 --> 00:05:01,789
Speaker 2: hopefully start being a bit better from knowledge in vomiting

116
00:05:01,829 --> 00:05:03,669
Speaker 2: and concentrate a little bit more on getting some good

117
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:06,349
Speaker 2: nutrition in so Unfortunately, if you're like yourself, it is

118
00:05:06,429 --> 00:05:09,349
Speaker 2: just still survival mode. Whatever you yet in is better

119
00:05:09,349 --> 00:05:11,549
Speaker 2: than nothing, but that it might have also contributed to

120
00:05:11,549 --> 00:05:12,909
Speaker 2: the pimples a little bit grace as being.

121
00:05:12,829 --> 00:05:15,629
Speaker 1: Honest, if you're not getting anythigit it is, isn't chocky,

122
00:05:15,709 --> 00:05:16,389
Speaker 1: I'm doing it.

123
00:05:16,789 --> 00:05:18,949
Speaker 2: But hopefully at this point we can start maybe either

124
00:05:18,989 --> 00:05:21,709
Speaker 2: engaging with a dietitian or someone who's keen to sort

125
00:05:21,709 --> 00:05:24,589
Speaker 2: of support you with your dietary requirements, because now you

126
00:05:24,589 --> 00:05:26,029
Speaker 2: can start trying to make up for some of the

127
00:05:26,029 --> 00:05:27,669
Speaker 2: weeks where you weren't really able to eat much.

128
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:30,229
Speaker 1: At some points they do say to up your calories.

129
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:32,589
Speaker 1: Is this one of the weeks to start upping your

130
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:34,629
Speaker 1: calories or we're going to wait till the second triininster

131
00:05:34,909 --> 00:05:35,549
Speaker 1: it's a bit of both.

132
00:05:35,589 --> 00:05:37,789
Speaker 2: Your baby's pretty small at the moment from us sustaining

133
00:05:37,829 --> 00:05:40,229
Speaker 2: their viability not as much it is more second and

134
00:05:40,269 --> 00:05:41,709
Speaker 2: third temester, and we sort of say an increase of

135
00:05:41,709 --> 00:05:44,269
Speaker 2: two to four hundred calories a day. It's a bit

136
00:05:44,269 --> 00:05:46,469
Speaker 2: dependent on whether you've put two babies in there, and

137
00:05:46,549 --> 00:05:49,109
Speaker 2: also really important as where your starting weight is. So

138
00:05:49,149 --> 00:05:51,509
Speaker 2: if you're underweight at the beginning of pregnancy, it is

139
00:05:51,589 --> 00:05:54,749
Speaker 2: time to increase your calories. If you're you know, normal

140
00:05:54,789 --> 00:05:57,429
Speaker 2: weight in the middle, then we're aiming sort of between

141
00:05:57,469 --> 00:05:59,909
Speaker 2: eleven and sort of eighteen kilos of weight gaining pregnancy,

142
00:05:59,949 --> 00:06:02,549
Speaker 2: So it's just a steady increase of nutritional value rather

143
00:06:02,589 --> 00:06:05,309
Speaker 2: than I'm eating for two, which and you also want

144
00:06:05,309 --> 00:06:06,949
Speaker 2: to account for those days when you do feel emotional

145
00:06:06,989 --> 00:06:08,349
Speaker 2: and you need to eat for two just to get

146
00:06:08,349 --> 00:06:10,269
Speaker 2: through the day. So the rest of the time you

147
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:12,149
Speaker 2: sort of just play it a bit safer.

148
00:06:14,029 --> 00:06:16,869
Speaker 1: Okay, my for this week. I'm embarrassed to admit to

149
00:06:16,949 --> 00:06:21,989
Speaker 1: you because you have Olympic medals in your home, But

150
00:06:22,269 --> 00:06:26,149
Speaker 1: I found swimming helpful in nausea because there's something about

151
00:06:26,909 --> 00:06:31,509
Speaker 1: the coldness and the buoyancy of it or something or

152
00:06:31,549 --> 00:06:34,149
Speaker 1: a different full body feeling that I have been swimming,

153
00:06:34,229 --> 00:06:35,989
Speaker 1: or maybe more like dog paddling.

154
00:06:36,109 --> 00:06:39,349
Speaker 2: But I'm in a pool, no, I'm not in a pool.

155
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:43,309
Speaker 2: It's whatever makes you comfortable. Again, remember exercise now is

156
00:06:43,349 --> 00:06:45,389
Speaker 2: about mood as well as it is sort of helping

157
00:06:46,029 --> 00:06:48,389
Speaker 2: maintain your insulin and your glucose levels at a good,

158
00:06:48,429 --> 00:06:51,189
Speaker 2: safe level. But for me this week, your talk is

159
00:06:51,669 --> 00:06:53,589
Speaker 2: just to get started and write yourself a little program

160
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:55,349
Speaker 2: and goal of how much you can fit it around

161
00:06:55,429 --> 00:06:56,509
Speaker 2: work and family life as well.

162
00:06:56,549 --> 00:06:58,869
Speaker 1: When you do speak about glucose and I'm sure we're

163
00:06:58,869 --> 00:07:01,269
Speaker 1: going to speak about gestational diabetes a little bit later,

164
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:04,269
Speaker 1: but other things that you can do now to prevent

165
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:07,069
Speaker 1: gestational diabetes or are you going to get it either way.

166
00:07:07,269 --> 00:07:09,149
Speaker 2: It's a great question because there is a huge genetic

167
00:07:09,149 --> 00:07:12,389
Speaker 2: component when it comes to to diabetes, particularly in pregnancy. Now,

168
00:07:12,829 --> 00:07:15,229
Speaker 2: the scenario is, if you've got your low weight and

169
00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:17,749
Speaker 2: you're in the chances don't look like someone who's potentially

170
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:19,949
Speaker 2: put on a lot of weight beforehand, then of course

171
00:07:19,989 --> 00:07:22,149
Speaker 2: there's going to be less risk. So but I've seen

172
00:07:22,189 --> 00:07:25,629
Speaker 2: plenty of very slim, very well women becoming very sick

173
00:07:25,669 --> 00:07:28,309
Speaker 2: with diabetes in pregnancy. There's also other volatuous women who

174
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:30,109
Speaker 2: don't get diabetes at all, So that does show that

175
00:07:30,229 --> 00:07:33,549
Speaker 2: genetic component is very real. So walking at night is

176
00:07:33,549 --> 00:07:34,869
Speaker 2: the key. If you can get out for a little

177
00:07:34,869 --> 00:07:36,909
Speaker 2: walk at night. We have some ladies who are diagnosed

178
00:07:36,909 --> 00:07:40,189
Speaker 2: with diabetes in pregnancy who don't need anything other than

179
00:07:40,229 --> 00:07:42,269
Speaker 2: diet and lifestyle changes, and that's what we say. If

180
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:43,709
Speaker 2: you go for a walk at night, it controls your

181
00:07:43,829 --> 00:07:45,869
Speaker 2: fasting sugars, which is are the ones that are overnight.

182
00:07:45,949 --> 00:07:48,589
Speaker 2: So I think, when you're around this time in gestation, why.

183
00:07:48,429 --> 00:07:51,229
Speaker 1: Not, so sorry, what makes it better to exercise at night?

184
00:07:51,549 --> 00:07:53,989
Speaker 2: It's around fasting sugars, So the one that is more genetic,

185
00:07:54,029 --> 00:07:56,709
Speaker 2: so the daytime sugar, So your post prandial or your

186
00:07:56,749 --> 00:07:59,749
Speaker 2: pre meal sugars can be a little bit more diet lifestyle,

187
00:07:59,789 --> 00:08:02,149
Speaker 2: but they can often be not changeable, whereas the evening

188
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:04,109
Speaker 2: ones you might get put on a medication met forman

189
00:08:04,149 --> 00:08:06,509
Speaker 2: for example, but sometimes you can avoid that by trying

190
00:08:06,509 --> 00:08:08,669
Speaker 2: to do evening walks before you go to bed.

191
00:08:08,709 --> 00:08:10,749
Speaker 1: And this is good for people whether I've got gestational

192
00:08:10,749 --> 00:08:11,429
Speaker 1: diabetes or not.

193
00:08:11,509 --> 00:08:12,749
Speaker 2: Correct So if you've got a high risk of it,

194
00:08:12,789 --> 00:08:14,549
Speaker 2: so you had diabetes in your first pregnancy, or you've

195
00:08:14,549 --> 00:08:16,589
Speaker 2: got a lot of family like mother or sister or

196
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:18,669
Speaker 2: someone who had diabetes in pregnancy, it does raise your

197
00:08:18,749 --> 00:08:20,549
Speaker 2: chance of having it, and we'll talk in a couple

198
00:08:20,589 --> 00:08:22,229
Speaker 2: of weeks about whether you would have an early gestation

199
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:24,509
Speaker 2: or diabetes test or not. But to me, it's also

200
00:08:24,549 --> 00:08:25,989
Speaker 2: just healthy. You know, had a big day, you're on

201
00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:27,989
Speaker 2: your feet, you're feeling tired, go for a nice little walk,

202
00:08:27,989 --> 00:08:30,949
Speaker 2: get some adrenaline and nice Sleephian doorphins in, and then

203
00:08:30,989 --> 00:08:31,469
Speaker 2: head to bed.

204
00:08:31,549 --> 00:08:37,149
