Hi 39 weeks and 1 day preggy here.

Mama, at 39 weeks na kayo, lahat ng changes like brown discharge at tightening ay normal, pero kailangan ninyo talaga makipag-consult sa OB ninyo ASAP, important na ma-check kung ano exactly ang happening, especially since kayo na malapit mag-deliver. A few of us mums nag-share na sometimes yung brown discharge ay sign na body is preparing, but sobrang importante talaga na OB ang mag-assess para sure kayo and baby are okay. Huwag mag-rely lang sa pineapple or other tips, ang baby ang mag-decide ng right time, at ang doctor lang ang makakasabi if kailangan na ng induction or kung okay pa kayong mag-stay home. Kaya please, contact your OB agad para peace of mind ninyo. Nandito na kayo sa finish line!

Uy mama, at 39 weeks na kayo, please check with your OB agad about that brown discharge para sure lang na lahat okay, lalo na if it gets heavier or may ibang signs, okay? Your doctor needs to see what's happening. As for the tightening at brownish spotting, karamihan ng mga mum friends ko na dumaan dito, normal lang yan malapit sa due date, pero yan talaga yung dapat i-confirm ng doctor mo, hindi kami. The pineapple at walks help some moms, but honestly walang guaranteed "trick", baby lang ang bahala ng timeline niya! Rest muna, hydrate well, at stay in touch with your OB. You're almost there, mamsh!
