WEBVTT - Week 10:  Where Is My Pregnancy Glow?

0:00:11.149 --> 0:00:15.989
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mama Maya acknowledges

0:00:16.029 --> 0:00:19.229
<v Speaker 1>the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

0:00:19.309 --> 0:00:20.029
<v Speaker 1>is recorded on.

0:00:21.389 --> 0:00:23.909
<v Speaker 2>I am pregnanty.

0:00:26.829 --> 0:00:30.069
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Hello Bump. We're making pregnancy less overwhelming and

0:00:30.269 --> 0:00:33.269
<v Speaker 1>more manageable, hopefully. I'm gracery very I'm pregnant for the

0:00:33.309 --> 0:00:36.509
<v Speaker 1>first time and my diet is now just bread and veggimind,

0:00:36.629 --> 0:00:37.629
<v Speaker 1>oh that's my good.

0:00:37.869 --> 0:00:40.069
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jana Pittman. I'm an ex Olympian, I'm a mother

0:00:40.109 --> 0:00:41.869
<v Speaker 2>of six, and I'm training to be an Obstitrican.

0:00:42.069 --> 0:00:44.189
<v Speaker 1>Each episode, Yanna and I will be holding your hand

0:00:44.309 --> 0:00:47.589
<v Speaker 1>week by week through the mysterious, perplexing and sometimes still

0:00:47.789 --> 0:00:53.349
<v Speaker 1>nauseating miry coole that is pregnancy Week ten. Week ten.

0:00:53.509 --> 0:00:55.549
<v Speaker 1>How big is our baby? Well?

0:00:55.629 --> 0:00:57.029
<v Speaker 2>I love this week because I think it's supposed to

0:00:57.029 --> 0:00:58.709
<v Speaker 2>be the same size as a date, or some peanut

0:00:58.749 --> 0:01:01.469
<v Speaker 2>butter on a spoon, or a lipstick.

0:01:01.509 --> 0:01:02.349
<v Speaker 1>A strawbery.

0:01:02.469 --> 0:01:04.229
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, that straw is much nicer than the ones

0:01:04.269 --> 0:01:07.789
<v Speaker 2>I came up with. About three centimeters, so pretty big.

0:01:07.949 --> 0:01:08.629
<v Speaker 1>If you look at it's like.

0:01:08.629 --> 0:01:10.069
<v Speaker 2>The length of the from your finger with a little

0:01:10.189 --> 0:01:12.029
<v Speaker 2>you know where your knuckle is in the middle, it's quite.

0:01:11.869 --> 0:01:14.789
<v Speaker 1>Long's and again it's a big jump, seem yeah, we're

0:01:14.789 --> 0:01:17.469
<v Speaker 1>starting all those smaller ones from the speck of dust.

0:01:17.589 --> 0:01:20.389
<v Speaker 1>Do it to a poppy seed doesn't really feel that much,

0:01:20.469 --> 0:01:22.309
<v Speaker 1>but once you can attach it to an object, it

0:01:22.309 --> 0:01:26.709
<v Speaker 1>does feel more real. Poor sure, and what is happening

0:01:26.709 --> 0:01:28.909
<v Speaker 1>inside that little Are they still in a sack? Well?

0:01:28.909 --> 0:01:31.189
<v Speaker 2>Actually this is exciting because now at ten weeks they're

0:01:31.189 --> 0:01:34.829
<v Speaker 2>officially a fetus. So they go from an embryo, you know,

0:01:34.909 --> 0:01:36.749
<v Speaker 2>that's what we call it medically, to being a fetus.

0:01:36.749 --> 0:01:38.829
<v Speaker 2>So it's really it marks the end of that embryonic period.

0:01:38.909 --> 0:01:41.349
<v Speaker 2>So lots of things still happen growth wise, but it's

0:01:41.349 --> 0:01:42.469
<v Speaker 2>a lot more human like.

0:01:42.589 --> 0:01:45.429
<v Speaker 1>Now what happens to the sack? Does it all become

0:01:45.589 --> 0:01:46.789
<v Speaker 1>part of the fetus?

0:01:47.029 --> 0:01:49.389
<v Speaker 2>Well, the gestational sack around is where all your amniotic

0:01:49.429 --> 0:01:52.749
<v Speaker 2>fluid and things are okay, so it's a large portion

0:01:52.829 --> 0:01:54.629
<v Speaker 2>of it. The yolk second, things gets absorbed, but the

0:01:54.669 --> 0:01:57.269
<v Speaker 2>actual sack around it is the whole part of the

0:01:57.269 --> 0:01:59.869
<v Speaker 2>pregnancy where the placentre is on the outside of it,

0:01:59.909 --> 0:02:01.949
<v Speaker 2>attached to the maternal wall, to the mother, whether the

0:02:02.029 --> 0:02:03.749
<v Speaker 2>vessels coming through, then you got your ambilical cord then

0:02:03.829 --> 0:02:04.749
<v Speaker 2>comes into the baby.

0:02:04.789 --> 0:02:07.989
<v Speaker 1>This moving and forming and changing of the fetus feels

0:02:08.029 --> 0:02:10.069
<v Speaker 1>like a human version of a kaleidoscope.

0:02:10.309 --> 0:02:12.069
<v Speaker 2>You basically in and out and in and out.

0:02:13.549 --> 0:02:19.069
<v Speaker 1>What's happening to me and what's happening to us, to

0:02:19.189 --> 0:02:22.789
<v Speaker 1>the vessel creatingman, to the woman creating this baby.

0:02:22.869 --> 0:02:25.069
<v Speaker 2>Well, hopefully your nausea and vomiting is reducing.

0:02:25.269 --> 0:02:28.189
<v Speaker 1>That is not in my case natually.

0:02:28.269 --> 0:02:30.469
<v Speaker 2>I think this may or may not be an ongoing

0:02:30.469 --> 0:02:33.509
<v Speaker 2>weekly thing. Yes, you're utriest is now about the size

0:02:33.509 --> 0:02:35.749
<v Speaker 2>of an orange, so we've gone from a tennis ball

0:02:35.749 --> 0:02:38.229
<v Speaker 2>to an orange, and you might be feeling a little

0:02:38.269 --> 0:02:41.149
<v Speaker 2>more laxicity in your pelvis and from a muscle perspective,

0:02:41.149 --> 0:02:43.429
<v Speaker 2>but interestingly, your baby's burons are starting to harden from

0:02:43.469 --> 0:02:45.949
<v Speaker 2>the cartilage, so you're getting softer and they're becoming stronger.

0:02:46.109 --> 0:02:48.589
<v Speaker 1>Is this way? I did a pilates class and they said,

0:02:48.629 --> 0:02:51.309
<v Speaker 1>just be careful of something a movement with your hips

0:02:51.789 --> 0:02:54.789
<v Speaker 1>because you're too flexible at the moment. What does that mean?

0:02:55.189 --> 0:02:57.869
<v Speaker 2>It's that progesterone again, so obviously partly to do with

0:02:57.989 --> 0:03:00.749
<v Speaker 2>estugen as well, but largely progesterone is the main, it's

0:03:00.749 --> 0:03:03.189
<v Speaker 2>a relaxing So basically it drops all the laxicity in

0:03:03.229 --> 0:03:05.429
<v Speaker 2>your vessels and your muscles and your pelvis, in your bones,

0:03:05.429 --> 0:03:07.669
<v Speaker 2>so everything sort of gets ready to accommodate the pregnancy

0:03:07.749 --> 0:03:09.869
<v Speaker 2>but also to birth because you know they do come

0:03:09.869 --> 0:03:12.829
<v Speaker 2>out down below from the vagina and then you need

0:03:12.869 --> 0:03:15.749
<v Speaker 2>to have that ability to pass a full term fetus.

0:03:16.669 --> 0:03:17.309
<v Speaker 1>Is this normal?

0:03:17.469 --> 0:03:18.629
<v Speaker 2>Is it normal? So?

0:03:18.789 --> 0:03:21.509
<v Speaker 1>My is this normal? Question I have for you today, Yana,

0:03:21.709 --> 0:03:26.069
<v Speaker 1>is my skin has gotten worse, and everyone talks about

0:03:26.069 --> 0:03:29.429
<v Speaker 1>this pregnancy, So I want to know if I'm not

0:03:29.549 --> 0:03:31.149
<v Speaker 1>hot yet, when am I going to get hot?

0:03:31.509 --> 0:03:33.669
<v Speaker 2>And you mean hot warm, or you mean I'm already?

0:03:35.229 --> 0:03:37.229
<v Speaker 1>I mean, well, I've got a question about that in

0:03:37.269 --> 0:03:41.869
<v Speaker 1>another few episodes about the myth of the heightened libido

0:03:41.949 --> 0:03:44.069
<v Speaker 1>that I would like to say is a myth. I'll

0:03:44.069 --> 0:03:47.029
<v Speaker 1>get to that. But my main question is why am

0:03:47.109 --> 0:03:49.109
<v Speaker 1>I not hot yet? Why don't I look like I'm glowing?

0:03:49.269 --> 0:03:49.549
<v Speaker 1>And look?

0:03:49.709 --> 0:03:51.269
<v Speaker 2>That is if it hard, isn't it? Because some women's

0:03:51.269 --> 0:03:53.989
<v Speaker 2>had to have beautiful glowing hair and face and things

0:03:54.029 --> 0:03:56.229
<v Speaker 2>like that, and your weight and your weight, and it

0:03:56.309 --> 0:03:58.189
<v Speaker 2>regularly it doesn't happen. In facted often you get active

0:03:58.229 --> 0:03:58.589
<v Speaker 2>and you look.

0:03:58.549 --> 0:03:59.149
<v Speaker 1>Like a teenager.

0:03:59.429 --> 0:04:02.509
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all moans again, unfortunately.

0:04:02.189 --> 0:04:04.989
<v Speaker 1>Just diagnosed with pregnancy, with pregnancy again.

0:04:05.349 --> 0:04:07.109
<v Speaker 2>And look, you know, I think it depends also what

0:04:07.149 --> 0:04:09.309
<v Speaker 2>you're carrying. I know, I know this is mostly an

0:04:09.349 --> 0:04:11.109
<v Speaker 2>old wive's tale, but like a lot of women report

0:04:11.109 --> 0:04:13.429
<v Speaker 2>when they're carrying boys, they have more hair around their

0:04:13.469 --> 0:04:15.429
<v Speaker 2>nipples and breakouts of pimples. But it's going to be

0:04:15.469 --> 0:04:17.869
<v Speaker 2>how your body regulates hormones. And again, everybody's different.

0:04:18.069 --> 0:04:21.909
<v Speaker 1>Is there any science to the old wives tale of

0:04:22.309 --> 0:04:25.909
<v Speaker 1>a sex determining the foods you like, whether you're salty

0:04:25.989 --> 0:04:28.709
<v Speaker 1>or sweet, or carrying high or low? Or is that

0:04:28.949 --> 0:04:30.589
<v Speaker 1>literally just a normal life tale.

0:04:30.629 --> 0:04:32.589
<v Speaker 2>So I actually ask this of one of my obstetric

0:04:32.629 --> 0:04:34.309
<v Speaker 2>consultants because I'm like, there's got to be something, And

0:04:34.349 --> 0:04:36.829
<v Speaker 2>her answer is there's always some truth behind a myth,

0:04:36.869 --> 0:04:38.749
<v Speaker 2>otherwise it wouldn't exist in the first place. But whether

0:04:38.789 --> 0:04:42.029
<v Speaker 2>it has any factual academic evidence largely not, or we'd

0:04:42.069 --> 0:04:44.149
<v Speaker 2>be recommending it for women all the time, if you

0:04:44.189 --> 0:04:44.629
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean.

0:04:44.709 --> 0:04:46.749
<v Speaker 1>So, okay, so I'm not gonna get hot or just

0:04:46.949 --> 0:04:49.029
<v Speaker 1>move on, which it might get hot, just give it

0:04:49.069 --> 0:04:53.389
<v Speaker 1>a few more weeks. Temperature hot that put that affirmation

0:04:53.469 --> 0:04:56.389
<v Speaker 1>at it as well. What are some important things we

0:04:56.429 --> 0:04:57.349
<v Speaker 1>need to do this week.

0:04:58.109 --> 0:04:59.629
<v Speaker 2>This is the start of the week where you can

0:04:59.749 --> 0:05:01.789
<v Speaker 2>hopefully start being a bit better from knowledge in vomiting

0:05:01.829 --> 0:05:03.669
<v Speaker 2>and concentrate a little bit more on getting some good

0:05:03.749 --> 0:05:06.349
<v Speaker 2>nutrition in so Unfortunately, if you're like yourself, it is

0:05:06.429 --> 0:05:09.349
<v Speaker 2>just still survival mode. Whatever you yet in is better

0:05:09.349 --> 0:05:11.549
<v Speaker 2>than nothing, but that it might have also contributed to

0:05:11.549 --> 0:05:12.909
<v Speaker 2>the pimples a little bit grace as being.

0:05:12.829 --> 0:05:15.629
<v Speaker 1>Honest, if you're not getting anythigit it is, isn't chocky,

0:05:15.709 --> 0:05:16.389
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing it.

0:05:16.789 --> 0:05:18.949
<v Speaker 2>But hopefully at this point we can start maybe either

0:05:18.989 --> 0:05:21.709
<v Speaker 2>engaging with a dietitian or someone who's keen to sort

0:05:21.709 --> 0:05:24.589
<v Speaker 2>of support you with your dietary requirements, because now you

0:05:24.589 --> 0:05:26.029
<v Speaker 2>can start trying to make up for some of the

0:05:26.029 --> 0:05:27.669
<v Speaker 2>weeks where you weren't really able to eat much.

0:05:27.749 --> 0:05:30.229
<v Speaker 1>At some points they do say to up your calories.

0:05:30.469 --> 0:05:32.589
<v Speaker 1>Is this one of the weeks to start upping your

0:05:32.629 --> 0:05:34.629
<v Speaker 1>calories or we're going to wait till the second triininster

0:05:34.909 --> 0:05:35.549
<v Speaker 1>it's a bit of both.

0:05:35.589 --> 0:05:37.789
<v Speaker 2>Your baby's pretty small at the moment from us sustaining

0:05:37.829 --> 0:05:40.229
<v Speaker 2>their viability not as much it is more second and

0:05:40.269 --> 0:05:41.709
<v Speaker 2>third temester, and we sort of say an increase of

0:05:41.709 --> 0:05:44.269
<v Speaker 2>two to four hundred calories a day. It's a bit

0:05:44.269 --> 0:05:46.469
<v Speaker 2>dependent on whether you've put two babies in there, and

0:05:46.549 --> 0:05:49.109
<v Speaker 2>also really important as where your starting weight is. So

0:05:49.149 --> 0:05:51.509
<v Speaker 2>if you're underweight at the beginning of pregnancy, it is

0:05:51.589 --> 0:05:54.749
<v Speaker 2>time to increase your calories. If you're you know, normal

0:05:54.789 --> 0:05:57.429
<v Speaker 2>weight in the middle, then we're aiming sort of between

0:05:57.469 --> 0:05:59.909
<v Speaker 2>eleven and sort of eighteen kilos of weight gaining pregnancy,

0:05:59.949 --> 0:06:02.549
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a steady increase of nutritional value rather

0:06:02.589 --> 0:06:05.309
<v Speaker 2>than I'm eating for two, which and you also want

0:06:05.309 --> 0:06:06.949
<v Speaker 2>to account for those days when you do feel emotional

0:06:06.989 --> 0:06:08.349
<v Speaker 2>and you need to eat for two just to get

0:06:08.349 --> 0:06:10.269
<v Speaker 2>through the day. So the rest of the time you

0:06:10.309 --> 0:06:12.149
<v Speaker 2>sort of just play it a bit safer.

0:06:14.029 --> 0:06:16.869
<v Speaker 1>Okay, my for this week. I'm embarrassed to admit to

0:06:16.949 --> 0:06:21.989
<v Speaker 1>you because you have Olympic medals in your home, But

0:06:22.269 --> 0:06:26.149
<v Speaker 1>I found swimming helpful in nausea because there's something about

0:06:26.909 --> 0:06:31.509
<v Speaker 1>the coldness and the buoyancy of it or something or

0:06:31.549 --> 0:06:34.149
<v Speaker 1>a different full body feeling that I have been swimming,

0:06:34.229 --> 0:06:35.989
<v Speaker 1>or maybe more like dog paddling.

0:06:36.109 --> 0:06:39.349
<v Speaker 2>But I'm in a pool, no, I'm not in a pool.

0:06:40.469 --> 0:06:43.309
<v Speaker 2>It's whatever makes you comfortable. Again, remember exercise now is

0:06:43.349 --> 0:06:45.389
<v Speaker 2>about mood as well as it is sort of helping

0:06:46.029 --> 0:06:48.389
<v Speaker 2>maintain your insulin and your glucose levels at a good,

0:06:48.429 --> 0:06:51.189
<v Speaker 2>safe level. But for me this week, your talk is

0:06:51.669 --> 0:06:53.589
<v Speaker 2>just to get started and write yourself a little program

0:06:53.589 --> 0:06:55.349
<v Speaker 2>and goal of how much you can fit it around

0:06:55.429 --> 0:06:56.509
<v Speaker 2>work and family life as well.

0:06:56.549 --> 0:06:58.869
<v Speaker 1>When you do speak about glucose and I'm sure we're

0:06:58.869 --> 0:07:01.269
<v Speaker 1>going to speak about gestational diabetes a little bit later,

0:07:01.589 --> 0:07:04.269
<v Speaker 1>but other things that you can do now to prevent

0:07:04.309 --> 0:07:07.069
<v Speaker 1>gestational diabetes or are you going to get it either way.

0:07:07.269 --> 0:07:09.149
<v Speaker 2>It's a great question because there is a huge genetic

0:07:09.149 --> 0:07:12.389
<v Speaker 2>component when it comes to to diabetes, particularly in pregnancy. Now,

0:07:12.829 --> 0:07:15.229
<v Speaker 2>the scenario is, if you've got your low weight and

0:07:15.269 --> 0:07:17.749
<v Speaker 2>you're in the chances don't look like someone who's potentially

0:07:17.749 --> 0:07:19.949
<v Speaker 2>put on a lot of weight beforehand, then of course

0:07:19.989 --> 0:07:22.149
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be less risk. So but I've seen

0:07:22.189 --> 0:07:25.629
<v Speaker 2>plenty of very slim, very well women becoming very sick

0:07:25.669 --> 0:07:28.309
<v Speaker 2>with diabetes in pregnancy. There's also other volatuous women who

0:07:28.309 --> 0:07:30.109
<v Speaker 2>don't get diabetes at all, So that does show that

0:07:30.229 --> 0:07:33.549
<v Speaker 2>genetic component is very real. So walking at night is

0:07:33.549 --> 0:07:34.869
<v Speaker 2>the key. If you can get out for a little

0:07:34.869 --> 0:07:36.909
<v Speaker 2>walk at night. We have some ladies who are diagnosed

0:07:36.909 --> 0:07:40.189
<v Speaker 2>with diabetes in pregnancy who don't need anything other than

0:07:40.229 --> 0:07:42.269
<v Speaker 2>diet and lifestyle changes, and that's what we say. If

0:07:42.309 --> 0:07:43.709
<v Speaker 2>you go for a walk at night, it controls your

0:07:43.829 --> 0:07:45.869
<v Speaker 2>fasting sugars, which is are the ones that are overnight.

0:07:45.949 --> 0:07:48.589
<v Speaker 2>So I think, when you're around this time in gestation, why.

0:07:48.429 --> 0:07:51.229
<v Speaker 1>Not, so sorry, what makes it better to exercise at night?

0:07:51.549 --> 0:07:53.989
<v Speaker 2>It's around fasting sugars, So the one that is more genetic,

0:07:54.029 --> 0:07:56.709
<v Speaker 2>so the daytime sugar, So your post prandial or your

0:07:56.749 --> 0:07:59.749
<v Speaker 2>pre meal sugars can be a little bit more diet lifestyle,

0:07:59.789 --> 0:08:02.149
<v Speaker 2>but they can often be not changeable, whereas the evening

0:08:02.149 --> 0:08:04.109
<v Speaker 2>ones you might get put on a medication met forman

0:08:04.149 --> 0:08:06.509
<v Speaker 2>for example, but sometimes you can avoid that by trying

0:08:06.509 --> 0:08:08.669
<v Speaker 2>to do evening walks before you go to bed.

0:08:08.709 --> 0:08:10.749
<v Speaker 1>And this is good for people whether I've got gestational

0:08:10.749 --> 0:08:11.429
<v Speaker 1>diabetes or not.

0:08:11.509 --> 0:08:12.749
<v Speaker 2>Correct So if you've got a high risk of it,

0:08:12.789 --> 0:08:14.549
<v Speaker 2>so you had diabetes in your first pregnancy, or you've

0:08:14.549 --> 0:08:16.589
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of family like mother or sister or

0:08:16.629 --> 0:08:18.669
<v Speaker 2>someone who had diabetes in pregnancy, it does raise your

0:08:18.749 --> 0:08:20.549
<v Speaker 2>chance of having it, and we'll talk in a couple

0:08:20.589 --> 0:08:22.229
<v Speaker 2>of weeks about whether you would have an early gestation

0:08:22.309 --> 0:08:24.509
<v Speaker 2>or diabetes test or not. But to me, it's also

0:08:24.549 --> 0:08:25.989
<v Speaker 2>just healthy. You know, had a big day, you're on

0:08:26.029 --> 0:08:27.989
<v Speaker 2>your feet, you're feeling tired, go for a nice little walk,

0:08:27.989 --> 0:08:30.949
<v Speaker 2>get some adrenaline and nice Sleephian doorphins in, and then

0:08:30.989 --> 0:08:31.469
<v Speaker 2>head to bed.

0:08:31.549 --> 0:08:37.149
