EDD in Sept 2011

[Carisella]

With my first baby gynae estimated that I could go all the way to 41 weeks. But we chose to induce at 40 weeks exactly cos my hubby had some important conference to present papers at and he wanted baby out first! In the end my induction nearly ended up in C-section. Cos no progress for 28 hours of labour man... Even before that my gynae also warned at the last few checkups that if the baby is not ready, most inductions end up in C-section, especially if bb cannot tahan the trauma of long induced labours.
One of my friends gave birth to her first baby at 41 weeks 4 days... And she had been waiting impatiently for her daughter since 37 weeks so it was an extra month before baby made its appearance.

OOoo!! Thanks Babybull!! You've just clarified everything *hugs*

Actually, 14 weeks scan that time saw something sticking there already but doc just went "hmmmmmmmmmmm"
then Saturday scan , baby was in a good position facing forward but then when gynae zoom in, baby turn turn turn until buttock face us * I was like :O * Nurse saw my expression and laff at me, then doc said "cannot see properly" so notti

My EDD at first was 30th Aug then after went to TMC for the Down Syndrome Scan they said become 4th Sept..
Saturday scan that time EDD changed to 28th Aug.. I think not accurate also la.. lol.. When baby is ready to come out, it'll ownself come out la.. haha.. Don't wanna stress over it also .. But just come out after the Chinese 7th Month can already Dear mommy me got exams in early August

By the way, any mommies had friends/family/relatives with first birth going up to 42 weeks? Just wondering to see how accurate the study from the website i read yesterday was as it mentioned that fail inductions are simply because the baby wasn't ready yet, and medically induced labors are associated with an increase in C-Sect rate 3 times higher than non-medically induced labors.

Haha.. I also dun wan to give birth during chinese 7th month..

Chinese 7th month is July 31st to August 28. Then Mooncake festival is September 12.

Ask you all ah, you got suddenly tummy like cramp liddat then after that ok already .. It's like 3 - 5 secs cramp then no cramp already.. Baby stretching? haha.. cos i feel as the cramp comes, there's this "suction" feeling also..

 

[babybull]

Carisella - welcome. But you've made me salivate for mooncakes too, and I didn't even like mooncake at all.. =P Worst still, you can't get mooncakes over here so no point craving..

I think your sudden tummy cramp is probably baby or the uterus stretching?

If you can still manage to exercise.. walk more and i mean a lot more to balance out even though i'm diabetic, I'm still taking sweet stuff like cheesecake (all time favorite) and ice-cream, but i make sure I really go to the park and WALK WALK WALK!!
Distance example is like From ECP macdonalds Carpark to ECP Food Village to and fro.. Hubby leg almost break

I didnt eat the raw sushi when i was in 1st trimester. But durian i start eating since i was pregnant. I heard people say that too, baby will be big. But cant help it lah, i eat 1 box (the white ta pao box) every day. Some say heaty etc but i feel fine. Except sometimes feel like fainting, but thats because i dont eat meat, no iron. Plus durian dont give constipation!

Actually if your baby is measuring ahead then definitely not too small. =)

Tummy will be late to pop for the first pregnancy, especially if you're on the slim side. When I was preggie with my girl, I was super skinny and tummy only showed around 28 weeks (7 mths!) Which also meant that no one gave up seats for me until I was 8 mths pregnant, sian..

By the time I gave birth (full 40 weeks) even the midwives had a hard time believing that my baby is full term cos tummy looked like most ppl's 6-7 mths tummy. But doesn't matter lah, small tummy flattens out very quickly after birth. By baby's full month my tummy was flat already - no need for exercise or dieting =P

Chocobaby, even my gynae also says that eating durians will result in big babies... 1 box a day seems a lot? I think its the sugar content in durians that cause worry bah..

I don't eat meat too, it isn't the only source of iron. Can get your iron from veggies like beans, lentils, etc. Red kidney beans (just buy those S&W brand cans) are good! Most prenatal vitamins have iron in them too, are you taking any? I've stopped taking the vitamins cos they cause constipation... =(
