E aʻo kākou e pili ana i nā neʻe mua a ka pēpē (wikiwiki ʻana) i ka wā hāpai.

Inā hāpai ʻoe, ua hoʻomaka anei ʻoe e ʻike i nā neʻe liʻiliʻi a me nā kīkēkē i loko o kou ʻōpū? He mea maʻamau ke manaʻo iki i kahi mea ʻē a kahaha ke manaʻo mua ʻoe i kahi mea e like me kēia. E noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe inā ʻo kēia ka pēpē e neʻe ana, a i ʻole he ea wale nō i paʻa i loko o kou ʻōpū. ʻO kēia ka mea a mākou e kapa nei ʻo "Quickening" ma nā huaʻōlelo lapaʻau. Ke hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻike i kēia mau neʻe liʻiliʻi, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi manaʻo nui o ka hōʻoluʻolu ua olakino kāu pēpē a ulu maikaʻi i loko o ka ʻōpū. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka manaʻo ʻana i kāu pēpē e kīkēkē ana he ʻike kupaianaha ia e hoʻoikaika ai i ka pilina ma waena ou a me kāu pēpē.

Pehea lā ka manaʻo maoli o kēia hakakā?

He ʻokoʻa kēia ʻike no kēlā me kēia kanaka. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻokoʻa ka manaʻo o kekahi makuahine ma mua o kekahi. Akā ma ke ʻano laulā, nui ka poʻe e wehewehe ana i kēia hakakā mua ma nā huaʻōlelo e like me kēia.

I ka manawa hea ʻoe e hoʻomaka ai e ʻike i ka neʻe ʻana o kāu pēpē?

Hoʻomaka ka pēpē e neʻe ma kahi o 12 mau pule o ka hāpai ʻana. Akā, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike ia mea no ka mea he liʻiliʻi loa ke pēpē i kēlā manawa.

• Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pēpē ma mua, e ʻike paha ʻoe i ka neʻe ʻana o kāu pēpē i ka wā he 16 pule. ʻO kēia no ka mea ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā ʻiʻo i loko o kou ʻōpū (`uterus`) i nā neʻe ʻana no ka mea ua kīkoʻo iki lākou mai nā hāpai mua. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku kou ʻike i kēia ʻike ma mua o kahi makuahine hānau mua.
• Inā ʻo kēia kou hāpai mua ʻana, he mea maʻamau ke kali a hiki i kahi o 20 mau pule ma mua o kou manaʻo ʻana i ka neʻe ʻana o kāu pēpē. No laila, mai hopohopo.

Aia kekahi mau kumu ʻē aʻe e loli ai ka manawa e pono ai e ʻike i kēia ʻano ʻālohilohi:

• Kahi i loaʻa ai ka placenta: I kekahi manawa hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia ka placenta i ka paia mua o ka ʻōpū. Kapa mākou ia he "Placenta Anterior". ʻO ke ʻano kēia, aia ka placenta ma waena o kou ʻōpū a me kou ʻōpū. I kēia hihia, ua lohi iki paha ka ʻike ʻana i nā neʻe mua a ke pēpē.
• Ka hana a ka pēpē: He ʻeleu loa kekahi mau pēpē i loko o ka ʻōpū, a ʻo kekahi he mālie iki. Hoʻopilikia pū kēlā i kēia.

Ma hea ʻoe e ʻike ai i kēia ʻeha?

I nā pae mua, ʻike pinepine ʻia kēia neʻe ʻana ma ka ʻōpū lalo, ma lalo o kou piko. ʻO kēia no ka mea i nā pae mua, he liʻiliʻi nō ka pēpē a me ka ʻōpū.

E noʻonoʻo, ma kahi o 12 mau pule o kou hāpai ʻana, aia kou ʻōpū ma kou ʻōpū lalo. Ma kahi o 20 mau pule wale nō e hiki ai ka piko o kou ʻōpū (ka `fundus`) i ka pae o kou piko. ʻO ia hoʻi, ma hope o 20 mau pule wale nō e hoʻomaka ai ʻoe e ʻike i kāu pēpē e neʻe ana ma luna o kou piko.

ʻEhia pinepine ka hakakā ʻana o ka pēpē? I ka manawa hea e ikaika ai kēia mau hakakā e hiki ai ke kīkē?

ʻOkoʻa ke alapine (frequency) o nā neʻe ʻana o ka pēpē mai kēlā kanaka a kēia kanaka i nā pae mua. Pono ʻoe e ʻike i kekahi neʻe ʻana ma waena o 20 a me 24 mau pule. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia.

I ke kolu o ka trimester (ma hope o 28 mau pule), e ikaika loa a ʻike nui ʻia nā neʻe ʻana o kāu pēpē. E ʻike ʻoe i kāu pēpē e kīkēkē ana, e kīkēkē ana, a e ʻōwili ana. Ma hope aku, e ʻike paha ʻoe i kāu pēpē e hiccups ana.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike i nā neʻe ʻana ma mua o kēia, a inā paha e kali ana ʻoe e ʻike i ka kīkē mua a kāu pēpē, mai hopohopo.I ka hapa nui o ka manawa, ua olakino kāu pēpē, a ʻaʻole paha e lawa ka ikaika o kāna mau neʻe ʻana no ʻoe e manaʻo ai. Akā inā he kānalua a hopohopo paha kāu, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka. Hiki iā ia ke nānā e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi o kāu pēpē a hoʻomaha i kou manaʻo.

No ke aha lā e hakakā nei ke pēpē penei i loko o ka ʻōpū?

He nīnau koʻikoʻi loa kēia. ʻAʻole wale kāu pēpē e neʻe ana a puni i loko o ka ʻōpū. He mea nui kēia mau neʻe ʻana no ka ulu pono ʻana o kona mau hono, nā ʻiʻo, a me nā iwi . ʻO ke kīkoʻo ʻana, ke kīkē ʻana, a me ka ʻōwili ʻana, ʻo ia nā mea a pau e hoʻomākaukau ai iā ia no ke ola ma hope o kona puka ʻana mai loko mai o ka ʻōpū. Inā ʻaʻole e neʻe ana kāu pēpē i loko o ka ʻōpū, he hōʻailona paha ia o kahi pilikia me ka pae wai amniotic a i ʻole ka placenta. Eia naʻe, mai hopohopo inā ʻaʻole e neʻe nui kāu pēpē e like me kāna e pono ai. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ke hoʻomaopopo i kāu kauka.

Inā ʻike ʻia e neʻe iki ana ka pēpē, he aha kāu e hana ai e hoʻonui ai i ka neʻe ʻana?

E like me ʻoe, he pōʻaiapuni hiamoe-ala ko kāu pēpē. I kekahi manawa e wiliwili ana ʻo ia e like me ka ilo, i kekahi manawa e noho mālie loa ʻo ia. Eia kekahi, ke neʻe ʻoe a puni i ke ao, hiki i ka neʻe ʻana ke hoʻāla iā ia a hoʻohiamoe iā ia.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo e neʻe ana kāu pēpē, e hoʻāʻo i kēia mau mea:

• E inu i kahi mea inu kō , e like me ka wai hua, a ʻai paha i kahi meaʻai.
• E hele wāwae .
• E pā mālie a hamo paha i kou ʻōpū .
• E hoʻokani i kahi mele me ka leo nui iki a i ʻole e kamaʻilio me kekahi.
• E noho mālie no kekahi manawa, e kau i kou mau lima ma kou ʻōpū, a e hoʻolohe pono. Paha ʻoe i ka hana nui a ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike i kāu pēpē e neʻe ana.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo i kekahi neʻe ʻana i ka lā a pau me kēia mau mea a pau, e kamaʻilio pono me kāu kauka.

He aha ka mea e hana ai inā manaʻo ʻoe ua pau ka neʻe ʻana o ke pēpē?

I kou hoʻomaka ʻana e hoʻolohe i nā neʻe ʻana o kāu pēpē, e hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻike i kahi ʻano. No ka laʻana, e hoʻoluhi nui paha kāu pēpē ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi ke kokoke ʻoe e hiamoe. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i kēia ʻano e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike koke i nā loli.

I ka hapa nui o ka manawa, ʻaʻohe mea e hopohopo ai kahi loli iki i kēia ʻano. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo i 10 neʻe ʻana i loko o kekahi mau hola, e kelepona koke i kāu kauka. ʻO 10 neʻe ʻana i loko o ʻelua hola ua manaʻo ʻia he mea maʻamau. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kāu kauka ke wehewehe iā ʻoe i ka mea maʻamau no kāu pēpē a me nā mea āu e manaʻo ai.
