Actually ya, quite scary if i never admit myself that day, i end up giving birth at home,noone at home plus when its too painful,you cant even walk to get to the taxi.A Mummy, I'm 3cm dilated, check at 1pm. No painful contraction until now just mild period like cramp quite worried that I'm not aware of the dilation and end up giving birth at home.... Sigh... Mentally stress T_T
I prefer not to be at home. It's too scary,unpredictable,anxious. I would choose to know i'm going for labour that day, and be in the hospital.congrats Amummy! wa you waited till 1 min apart contractions!
i hope i can spend most of the first part of labour at home too!
Yup, guess different bodies and babies work different ways. It's all so unpredictable. The only 2 tips that i follow, if you feel weird and different about yr body, just admit yrself. Don't listen to anybody. Next is 5 min apart contractions.I am praying hard to have a short labour too! haha! So it is not true that the baby will be expected to be overdue if he is not engaged.
It stops, then it's not. One week before labour, from 11pm to 4am i remembered having 10 min apart. Then it stops. Every contractions were dull menses pain.Mummies, I had painless contractions from 6.30pm-2am yesterday then followed by more painful contractions (pain in tummy, pelvic and back) from 2-4am. Then it stopped! I thought I was going into labour... Anyone knows why? Now I'm so exhausted from the whole night of torment and worry and anxiety.
I called the labour ward to ask regarding my symptoms and they asked me to go down immediately. I asked them "are you sure?" cos i was not having contractions anymore, it was the night before.. I just Wanted to be assured that it's normal that contractions come and go. Ended up they ask me go down and I went... Turned out its nothing serious and they sent me home after my gynae confirmed its not real labour. Sigh,, so scary I really don't know when is the real labour going to be or how it's gg to be like
Yea even after birth...Then I guess we are having the same pain. When lying down, I even have problem lifting up my left leg because of the pain. It's like left leg has got no strength.
oic! im just afraid of going too early and somehow labour stalls and need to be augmented. my gynae did tell me to go hospital once contractions are 5min apart for 1 hour. or waterbag breaks. or lots of bleeding. am 37 weeks now.. nervous!I prefer not to be at home. It's too scary,unpredictable,anxious. I would choose to know i'm going for labour that day, and be in the hospital.
Trust me when it happens, you are not mentally strong(TOO anxious) to experience the contractions alone without professionals(docs,nurses).The articles and comments on babycenter where mummies experience up to 8 cm labour at home then rush to hosp is just not happening for me. I think I'm too kancheong. I nd to be arnd professionals then I'll be strong. That explains the NO epidural.
Good to hear from u! So happy for u that u have Ur baby in Ur arms nowStellaC hope to hear from you=)
yea, i also walk very slowly now, feels heavy everywhere. It's getting difficult to change position during sleep. When I turned from left to right or vice versa, I can feel some ache in my lower abdomen, it's like baby inside me is being "shifted" because of my turning.yes i get this ache too. especially when i get up at night to go pee. i can feel the ache when i am sitting on the toilet..hehehe. in the day time it is not too bad. i try not to waddle when i walk coz my colleague says i walk like a gangster! but i gotta walk slowly now...
StellaC, all the best,wish u have smooth delivery. waiting time at home is killing me. Mentally stress >_< This morning quite terrified as baby not moving... End up is baby sleeping. will c how till next Monday appointment, if no progress will ask gynea what option I have. Hah, I think I won't reject the suggestion of induction nowGood to hear from u! So happy for u that u have Ur baby in Ur arms now
Its been nights of contractions and pelvic pains .. Super sharp pain that keep me awake til 4-5am. Super exhausted.
Now going to ser gynae forweekly check, 2 more days to EDD but not sure if he's gonna induce me today.
Wow.... So excited to hear you going to have baby soon. Keep it on wish u all the best.Just finished check up with gynae.. Baby is 3.3-3.4kg already. He suggested to induce as he's afraid baby maybe too big and also he's concerned that my cervix is not coming down despite having contractions and pelvic pains. Seems like baby is trying to push her way down but maybe my fibroid is blocking.
I wish to be induce on 9/9 too. Hehe.. 9/9 seems a good dateI'd be going in late at night on 8sep. So baby bday will be 9 sep. but I still praying for natural birth
