How u know if u dilating?

I am 38w + few days but my gynae doesnt seem to be bothered to check if i am dilating? He only say when water breaks, mucus plug or bloody show just straight go hospital. But ive heard from some mummies that their gynae will check for dilation from week 37 onwards? Can anyone share their experience?

My gynae didn’t check as well thou. Even at 40 weeks (overdue) also didn’t check haha. My waterbag didn’t break nor did I lose my mucus plug. Mine is Dr Adrian 😂.

Anxiety by the thoughts of giving birth

Hi mommies my edd is end Aug but Dr said that it could be earlier. Currently 35w4d in. Having anxiety with the thoughts of delivering and being in the hospital. Funny thing is that I’m working in the hospital myself but the thought of having things attached to me later is making me uncomfortable. Hows those who has given birth experience so far 🥹

It may/may not be early though. Depends on baby's position, baby's head engaged, cervix opening, etc. What you mean by attached to you? You mean separation anxiety at the thoughts of being far from you baby?

Did anyone take some time to accept your baby’s gender? When you are kinda so set on a particular gender? How did you go around it, kinda still in shock after finding out

Health matters more then gender!

Can I eat durians during pregnancy?

Can I eat durians during pregnancy?

its heaty and its sweet . So its might cause diabetes and have big baby . Durian will also makes you gain more weight . If baby is too small doctor will advise you to eat if its too big they will ask you not to eat. Make sure everything in moderation and drink more water after durian

Impossible to sleep comfortably

Im now in third trim, 33 weeks, with a big heavy bump. Why is it getting harder to sleep 😭😭😭 the tummy always feel very very uncomfortable, heavy, suffocating, makes you feel restless and sometimes even crampy. I have tried putting small pillow to support my below, also doesnt works. I really miss having a long comfortable sleep 😭 see my husband sleep everynight like wah so shiok. I always end up falling asleep multiple times and work and sometimes feel like taking mc the next day. And people telling me to get as much as sleep as possible before baby comes when i can barely even sleep now (‘: Kind of envy ladies who have small bump throught their pregnancy.

Dr Manisha Mathur (KKH) or Dr Biswas (NUH)?

In a little pickle and can't seem to decide between these two gynaes. I'm ftm. I'm looking for gynae who is pro natural and empathetic. My pain tolerance is bad and I'm worried I may get panic attack in labour room (no judgement pls). I would like to avoid c sec unless its really necessary and I've heard alot of KKH not being as pro natural as NUH, hence the back and forth. So far my pregnancy is low risk but I've yet to do detailed scan. I've not met either gynae yet. NUH is closer to my home by 10 mins as compared to KKH. I was initially keen to take Prof su from NUH but she's not available on my edd. Any mums could share experience with either gynae pls.

I really feel you on this, being a first-time mum and already thinking so carefully about your birth experience shows how much heart you're putting into this, and that anxiety about the labour room is so valid and understandable. I haven't personally seen either of these two doctors, but since NUH is closer to home and you were already leaning that way, that proximity can actually matter more than you think when you're heavily pregnant or in early labour. My honest suggestion would be to book a first consult with Dr Biswas and just have an open conversation about your birth preferences and your anxiety, because how a gynae responds to that very first honest chat tells you a lot about whether they're the right fit for you lah.
