EDD keeps shifting further away, to induce or not to induce?

[Raina]

Every visit to gynae, my EDD will shift a few days further.
Actual EDD is 20.01.2010. Then it moved to 26.01.2010, now it has moved to 28.01.2010.

Gynae said that I can still choose to deliver on 20.01.2010, I'm assuming via induced labour.

Me and hubby like the date 20.01.2010.

Any mummies can share their experience on induced labour?
Can I still have vaginal birth?

Mine was induced labour. Already dilated 2cm during last chk-up, so doctor advised to induce early. My EDD is 28 Nov, but i delivered on 10 Nov. Also baby is quite big, when i delivered at 37th week is already 3.5kg, baby will be too big if i choose to wait for natural delivery.
If your baby development is ok, there will not be any problem to induce early.
You can read my story from The Big Day :

To help in dilating faster, i walked alot and did sqatting exercise before the day for admission.
Take good care and wish you smooth delivery.

Agreed with ohstrawberry that as long as baby is ok, it is ok to induce. Induced labour can still have vaginal labour. I have induced labour and natural birth as well, so should not be a prob. The day before admission, i went to climb stairs... When i reached the hospital in the morning, i also walked around in the ward to help to have faster delivery and it works. All the best to you and have a smooth delivery!

HI ohstrawberry mummy, congrats on baby Ryan. Your labour story seems not that painful except for the rough nurse I guess. hihihi..
By the way, is the jab to make u dilate faster part of the package?

I've been doing a lot of squatting...to pee

Hi drmoomoo, thanks.

Hope that everything will be ok for me to deliver on desired date.

Thank you for the well wishes

 

[ohstrawberry]

Thanks, Raina.
No, the jab not included in the package but definately much much cheaper then epidural. I'm so broke that i kept thinking not to incur too much cost on delivery, haha, maybe that's why i can tolerate all the pain, rather pain than spend more money, :tlaugh:....
I took the 2-bedded in East Shore, after deducting Medisave 2.1K, still need to top up cash $917.
Do more exercise is good for you, must be careful of slippery floor in toilet when you squat to pee though. All the Bests!!!

yeah mummies... been telling myself to endure the pain, though I have no idea how bad it is going to be...really dunno what to expect as a first timer.

dun want to spend too much either, so baby...pls cooperate with mummy..

iwan2noe, i've experienced those muscle strains too, in several areas. try to get up slowly from whichever position u were at, be it sitting on the chair, squatting, lying in bed..get up, stay still for a few seconds coz the muscles need to re adjust..then slowly move again, it helps a lot for me..

 

[shopaholic]

My elder 2 kids were induced on full-term and they were delivered naturally. So not to worry.

C-sect will come in if the mum is dilating too slowly (or not at all) and baby is getting distressed. But this can still happen even if it's not induction.

OOh shopaholic mummy...ur little one is so round round... i wish my baby to be round round as well..mmm lurve chubby babies!

For me, turning from one side to the other on the bed is quite a challenge..muscles hurt alot! Getting out of bed is still manageable but still hurt. And oh dear, just now at work, everytime I get up from my seat, hmm hurts too, think bb's weight is affecting the muscles down below...

Thank you, wish you will feel better and have a smooth one as well!!

 

[shiyi]

wish all have a smooth natural delivery..the extra costs can be better spent elsewhere!

Hmm i not sure actually but i went through induction because low amniotic fluid then c-sect because cervix not dilating

I was on tablet to soften cervix a day before induction , next day went to labour room & gynae burst my water bag , till 8 hours still no process of going into labour & because i was already lacking of fluid so i went for c-sect

 

[Raina]

Doctor put me on drip and burst my waterbag to induce and make me dilate faster...

Once those two were done, the intense contractions started coming in.
All I can say is, practice your breathing to counter the pain, it helps, though not as much as I would like it to...

May you have a smooth delivery
