39w+3 and no sign of labor
hello moms i’m 39w+3 days estimated now and theres 4 more days to my edd but after today’s cervical check my gynae said that i’m not even dilated and that baby doesn’t wanna come out. pls recommend some natural ways to try for dilation if possible as i’m worried bc i don’t want to opt for c sec :(
Me too! I’m 39w 2d today (14 Oct) and no signs of labour as well. I’m pretty sure baby is comfortable in there. I do want to try natural birth but whichever is safer for her to come out I’ll be fine as well. Guess I need to start climbing my HDB 4-storey flat’s stairs until I give birth! Planning on having sex with husband on Mon 19 Oct who knows I’ll go into labour and deliver on 20.10.20 hahahah.. oh well they say it helps and I wouldn’t mind trying since I’ve been out of the game for about 4 weeks now cause too heavy. Lol. Try sitting on a gym ball, carefully do deep squats while holding on to something or against the wall, climb stairs, watch your 1hr fav series and walk along your corridor, anything that keeps your hips moving will aid baby into the birth canal.. though I was said to have exceeded 1 week after EDD.. lol We can do this! Few more days! 💪🏻💪🏻
Read moreI had membrane sweep at Week 39 and Week 40, walked 8000 steps per day, and baby still refused to come out 😅 I was induced and gave birth 41W+1. Sometimes baby just doesn't want to come out yet. I think the walking helps though, my labour was 8H long even though I was induced. My gynae was expecting it to take at least 16H.
Read morewow thats alot of walking... i walk for awhile and i already get so tired and my legs are sore hahaha
I went for accupuncture 3 days before my edd. Woke up to cramps the next morning n was alr 3cm dilated when i went hosp aft lunch. Delivered my gal naturally :) let me know if u need the contact of the physician i went to! Jiayous mummy!
oh thats interesting! guess will just wait it out if he doesn’t wanna come out my gynae will probably suggest inducing on monday :) thanks for your advice
Keep walking 😅 I started to dilate at 36 weeks because I can't stop walking although I'm in so much pain. I can feel so much pressure on my pelvic area but I still continue to walk. I can walk whole day too
I wish I can Walk too im 32weeks pregnant by now but I do know why I can't walk much because I feel my baby is very down on my pelvic im scared and I easy get tired .
I had no sign of labour at 39wks too! I went out window shopping almost everyday and try to walk around even at home. baby finally out at 1 day before 40wks.
wow haha hopefully that will be the case for me too😢 thanks for the advice!
i gave birth exactly at 40weeks. on my bby's EDD. relax mummy. maybe u can try to walk more. be more active 😊
