Alhamdulillah mama, you did the right thing going to the hospital! Those prolonged contractions at 38 weeks need checking, and the doctor's decision to ward you is the safest call, CTG shows baby's heart rate okay, that's the main thing. A few of my mum friends also got warded near the end for monitoring, and honestly it's peace of mind la, especially for first-time moms. Selamat bersalin soon! Baby tu dah nak keluar ni
