BPS and IE

Question

Hi mommies, FTM here. Any tips po Im 37 weeks and 6 days sept. 2 due date ko based sa ultrasound.  Kagagaling lang sa check up ngayon. Sabi po nung chineck si baby malaki daw po nasa 33 ang fundal height nya, then Upon IE sakin sabi closed pa daw cervix ko pero si baby naka siksik na sya sa baba, hindi padin nag request si OB sakin ng BPS ultrasound kahit malapit na EDD ko . Any tips po para mag open ang cervix?  Bukod sa Pineapple juice and paglalakad lagi. Thanks in advance po. #1stimemom #advicepls #firstbaby

Hay, thats such a common worry at this stage, lagi kong naririnig from my mum friends na ganyan din ang situation nila! Your OB probably isnt rushing the BPS yet kasi basta baby is engaged and healthy, thats already a good sign, pero definitely ask directly sa next check-up kung bakit hindi pa requested, kaya mo yan, walang tanong na bawal to your doctor. For the cervix, honestly beyond the walking and pineapple, some of us swear by membrane stripping (if your OB offers it) or even just staying calm and letting your body do its thing, stress din nakakablock ng dilation, plus your baby sounds healthy based sa size at position. Malapit na talaga, mama, hang in there!
