38weeks 6days (3cm)

Aw mama, kaya mo yan! Ang crying during labor is so normal, it's actually your body's way of releasing tension, kaya don't feel bad about it one bit. Since you're already 3cm at almost 39 weeks, you're in active labor na talaga, and honestly the best thing right now is to stay comfortable, change positions frequently, take warm showers if you can (sobrang calming talaga), and kahit gaano katagal, alam mo na you and baby will be meeting soon. A few of us moms here swear na ang pressure points sa hands at lower back help during contractions, so kung may support person ka, siguro pwede silang mag-massage doon. You've got this, and ang baby items, seriously hindi yan urgent right now, focus on you muna at sa labor journey mo. Keep us posted, kami nandito for you!
