Baby has it's own timing. When your baby is ready to live outside of the womb, labour begins. You can try natural induction. May not see immediate result but you can always try the gentle way.Wanna ask you all for opnion.. Wife 39th weeks le.. due anytime.. should be a happy occasion but currently my grandma is critical in hospital. previously I was quite against induce method and wife is open to option.. But now a little confuse state as I was hoping my grandma will get to meet him.. But even so.. am thinking it is kinda selfish to have this thinking even though wife is quite supportive.. just ned some opnion asap
Hi Qiannyang, maybe what u're feeling is pressure instead, since u mentioned that ur baby is low? My gynae says she doesnt check for dilation unless I want to induce or we suspect labour is impending (I had a false alarm). Cos sweeping (when checking for dilation) will disturb the tissues, produce oxytoxin and cause contractions which will trigger dilation. Anyway, this is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm still not sure whether I'm experiencing real contractions or just cramps/Braxton Hicks. So paiseh ,Qiannyang:794585 said:@Roudx: Just went for check up, 3kg at 37weeks. But gynae still yet to ask me to watch my diet haha.
@MrsRed: Thanks Mrsred! But when I lie down, there isn't much contractions. Just cramps and slight contractions, whereas standing up would have much more contractions, cramps and backache. So confused
@Missolive: Haha, I've no idea how do I turn from one side to another in just one move. I guess it's because my tummy isn't really big like how a 37weeks tummy should look like.
Baby's head has been down for almost 2 months, but not sure if it's low enough. Did your gynae check to see if you're dilated? My gynae doesn't.
Missolive, I know what u mean!!! I take eons to turn and sometimes when I've finally completed the turn, my elder one who co-sleeps with us will ask me to pat or hug her and I have to turn back all over again!missolive:794603 said:@Qianyang haha, I have to turn very very slowly, even have to support my tummy with my hands, very pain down there.. yeah my gynae checked my dilation last week, cos in the scan seems like baby very low. But after vaginal check, she said not that low..
