Thanks ChocoBaby, I think I am going crazy trying to figure out whether we need a carseat or cradle him home.

Will it just be u n ur husband going home with the baby? If thats the case, then get a carseat ready just in case. U might be in pain to hold the baby n i assume hubby will be driving so then it's safer to have baby in carseat.

Hi, my wife EDD is 10 Sept.

But the doc say the baby still dont seem to want to come out yet..already 3.3kg!!

Is 3.3kg big? Any disadvantages for a big baby in terms of health etc?

It's just an estimation, I dont think there is any disadvantages except that it is tougher for your wife?
My daughter also weighed 3.66kgs at birth :)

I do want to purchase a carseat for safety precautions, but hesitant if it's really needed or if baby will use it for a long time.
Decisions ... decisions ... decisions ...

Or get the convertible type which can be used up to 3 years old?
For safety reasons, it's definitely more advisable to get a baby carseat.
We didn't get for our toddler as my husband is always changing car and he is driving the company's vehicle.

Yah get a convertible one or get a preloved one for newborn? Save alot... No use buying new if u can just use it for 3 or so months. Unless it's a convertible to use for years ahead then i think a new one will be more worth it.

Hi mummies here,

Doctor told my wife that the cervix still not open yet. As such she will have to be warded and be put on medication to induce labour.

Any mummies got experience before ?? Thanks.

Now? How many weeks is she? Docs usually will do that if the woman is past edd or water bag burst then no progress. Besides cervix not opened, what other signs ur wife have?

My wife due date is on the 10 sept. Already booked admission on the 13th to induce. Hope no need c-section.

So far baby is around 3.3kg. Cervix still not open yet although abit soft already.

Well induction is not that bad actually... Just that it can be a lil more painful as it doesnt come slowly n naturally. It's like 'forcing' ur body to have contractions. For some women labor is longer with induction, some can be quite fast. Every labour is different.... Not always the same for everyone. Dont worry ladies... U can do it! Im thinking of induction for myself this time. :)
