Dear Princess CC, wow it seems that it's anytime soon right? I am amazed you are still thinking of the baby fair. Lol. I am surprised that even though you are dilated, you still gotta wait for more signs. Definitely making me nervous cos I am 35 weeks and having slight cramps that resemble menstrual cramps. I still drive to work.. So when do we stop driving? My gynae also passed me the envelope for admission just in case the 3 signs appear. As I am a first time mum I really don't know what will happen next. Lol. Update us on your progress! I am excited for you.
Dear Loreta and mhjt,
Thank you for setting a goal to go natural AND YES! You boost my confidence to do so.
kudos to the encouragement.
Dear mummies n mum to be,
I m getting anxious n suddenly feel unprepared - as the doctor keep saying I will definitely be
delivering on my EDD 8/9 March... But went for my 37 weeks checkup yesterday morning I m already 1.5cm dilated.
Gyn says its my first pregnancy, so active labour is unpredictable may be in 10 hours time,few days, a week (I choose not to admit as GYN mention
that that may be false alarm.
Signs to look out for
1) contractions of 1 per every 15 mins regular,
2) show (mucous plug) but not necessary to admit first - but must inform GYN (still need to depend on Sign 1)
3) water bag burst (confirm must admit - hv a quick shower first!)
....hopefully I still can go to the babycare festival on the 22 Feb in expo. Anyone going?
So mummies out there, you may want to let your GYN know your regularity of your contractions
(mine was every 2 hours - 15 to 30 mins per session , and realize that the tummy gets very tight and she seems to be kicking me harder. request GYN to check your dilation.
it was a bit drama for me - as I was in so much pain that i forgotten how to parallel park n need to ask for help.
Can't focus n think of where the valet is. GYN has gave me a firm advise - NO MORE DRIVING!!!!
I have high pain threshold but the contractions seems so different.
I did the Pant Pant Blow breathing technique and sit and lean forward
to survive the driving journey.
