Hi Mojito, our edd are close! :) You can make good use of your personal time to catch up for your personal interest.. no time for yourself once bby is out! I have been doing cleanings and preparation as well. Also reading up about about labor to be better prepared..

life is abt waiting...

Been watching discovery home & health programmes about labor and I guess it only makes me more nervous. Lol.
Trying to do squats to induce so I won't waste too many days of leave doing nothing at home. ;)

I am having this bad constant back pain and sometimes like stabbing pain in the back... Not sure those are labour signs.

Haha. Does squats help?? I asked doc how to soften the cervix, he told me sperm. I was like no way. My hormones not in the mood. Geez

Thelay, whens ur appt for next visit? Ask ur gynae if bb engaged le not.. usually they are able to tell if u might be near labor. But sometimes baby will just come without signs as well..

I am quite dread to go and see gynae as they will check my cervix opening.. Last time i had quite bad experience. .So uncomfortable and pain. Do you all have any kind of pain? My Baby still very active. She still actively moving...

why?? i did my cervix check yesterday - not sure if its the same, my gyane inserted his fingers with gel and tried to push his way through. he kept apologizing though, haha. its pain, but he stopped halfway and tell me not ready for induction.. Hm. i have lower abdomen pain occasionally and backache (but not like constant pain / stabbing pain) as you described. Yea, my baby active too.. during certain hours. My gynae getting me to do the fetal count chart daily..

thelay - was the one who did your cervix check gynae or nurse? I just came back from tmc, went to observation room @ labor ward because of slight blood discharge. the nurse did the cervix check for me and i teared :( SO PAIN! then i went to see my doctor. Cervix not ripe yet, but having weak contractions (yesterday scan did not show). Gynae did another cervix check for me - not pain. I was complaining to him. he said usually gynae more skilled. haha.

Estya... ya. And she kept asking me to push. I was like "push what??!!". Not exactly the friendly bunch of people. And I got blood discharge after the check -.-" am having stronger and more regular abdomen contractions now, slight blood discharge now and then. Eating all the "junk" food now just in case. Hahas

Thelay, some contractions starts with backache. Does moving ard help ease the discomfort?
