Hey mummies! I've been busy trying to clear my work and do handover .. finally finished my last day of work and my leave starts tomorrow! EDD 24th Sept ..38weeks and 1 day now.. but i hope i'll carry my girl awhile longer... Tomorrow is my gynae appt, shall check with her if baby is engaged. I'm super tired and have not been sleeping enough ..just cannot lie down without pain on the abdominal area, pelvic area and eveywhere ! I think i subconciously scratched my whole waist, back, tummy, butt and thighs wholenight ! The itch is unbearable.. :(

As i mentioned earlier that i hope to carry beyond 40 weeks is coz i just got news frm my confinement lady last weekend that she just started a job with another family... can only make it end of the month.. if i pop early, she'll send her friend as replacement first then she'll come later.. i don't really feel good having a change of hands in between.. so i feel if i can wait, i should just tahan till end of month..

Recently for the past week is the normal loose stools and some really uncomfortable kicking from baby.. feel this pain on the bladder that is really straining at times.. pain till need to clench my feet! Anyone experiencing same kind of pain in the bladder-vaginal area? Hmm i also had some menses cramp too.. so worried can pop anytime.. lol

Omg eeneyminey my hubby says he bought nuk silicon pacifier >< I tot I read newborn better use latex, later can use silicon.. He said he saw both but decided to get silicon..

Oh when I just woke up n started having contraction it felt like mild menstrual cramps with poo poo feeling, keep gg to toilet until getting more frequent (every 10 min or less?) n getting painful then realized is contractions... From 7+ to 8am, all within an hour! Thinking maybe I slept thru the mildest part of contractions...

Hi Sapphire, when is your edd? I do have constant pain in my pelvis area,especially, standing up after sitting or lying down. Sometimes, I also have sharp pain that shot all the way down. On top of that, it's the constant menstrual like cramp that we have not experienced for the past 9 months. haha.. You are seeing gynae today, mayb, can ask whether is that the symptom? =)

Bb's weight today est. 3.5kg, dr says on birth shd b ard 3.3 to 3.5kg.... tats a scary thing cos doc says to prepare labour will b slightly tedious..... but he doesn't want to do any cervix dilation test nor induction cos he says for first baby its best to let him come naturally... all's well after today's appt... will hav to continue to wait......................

Ya, heard checking of cervix dilation is quite uncomfortable and painful. Understand not all gynae will check.. Some will wait till real symptoms kick in. Seems like our baby is getting ready to come out so we shall patient for the actual day.

My friend just had her VE check last week because suspected to have preterm labour sympthoms, she said she screamed when the doc checked her. the doc immediately said that she better take epi during labour if this kind of pain also screamed.. hahahhaa.. she then told me if during labour need to check like this for so many times she might kick the nurse in the face accidentally.. lol i can just laugh listening to her.. super funny..

Doctor VE me when i had my check up with him cos I complained about pelvic pain and frequent braxton hicks I was 1cm dilated and baby's head still high and not yet engaged after 2 days I had my mucus plug broke an dwent hospital, nurse found out i am indeed 5cm dilated but no contraction yet, I can't even go home cos baby might pop out anytime and I was only 36 weeks that time.. SO doing VE can trigger dilation!!!

That sounds scary! By performing the VE might loosen the cervix and causing the mucus plug to fall off. I think I'm very fearful of such thingy.. The last time gynae perform transvaginal scan at week 5 of my pregnancy, I almost fainted. Coz it's so so much discomfort and pain, but luckily, he's very assuring and fast..
Waiting game can be tiring..

Is dere anything to do to bring on labor apart from walking et all? I'm getting really impatient and wanna see my baby fast.. I've read that drinking castor oil helps but the thought of that makes me sick..

Me too, Kary2500.. Hubby was still joking this morning wether any chance for her to come out today so that he can skip ippt.. Haha..
The menstrual cramp that I felt for the past few days have disappeared, so, think chances for her to come out seem even slimmer. I'm starting to drink coconuts. Not sure will help..
