I heard induced labour is very painful one.. Most of the gynae I guess will encourage induced only if the baby gets too big.. Some complications or over ur edd Liao.. Actually u only 37 weeks still can wait 3 more weeks

Just went for check up. Today my gynae help me do a scan. As usual, i complaint my tumny super big, thats y he did a scan and see. My bb currently is almost 3kg n everything is fine. Still got lots of water for him to 'swim' inside. Blood pressure n urine test all ok...then of cos i ask gynae how's the chances of induce...he say he dun recommend induction unless gt medical reason, then he added if baby too big by next week then consider induce. He say bb haven engaged yet so he cannot be sure if induce now will be successful or not. He say if now bb wants to come out naturally, its fine cos he is full term baby le. Hubby oso ask me dun induce..

GBS is Group B Streptococcus. it is a kind of bacteria that can affect baby esp during natural birth that is why need antibotics...but in some case normally doc will give the mtb option to C sect
Icic i guess its for tat...anyway i finished the course already :)

so agree.. i miss my pregnant belly so much now i always find myself looking at others' pregnant belly with envy..

especially wen i'm feeling fat.. LOL.. coz being preggy gives me an excuse to be fat.. and wen you are pregnant or heavily pregnant, i always feels like people are extra friendly, kind and approachable to me..
Lol ya...can 'escape' alot of duties at work lol

ur gynae is right. if ur bb has not engage, even u induce, the chances of u going to emergency c-sect is higher. IMHO, i always feel tt induce is not a good choice if ur bb is doing well inside, if u dont have any medical issue, cos afterall induce is to FORCE the contractions to come, and not naturally. (correct me if i'm wrong) =)

allos juz17,
its kinda strange your gynae doesn't do scan for you every visit. Hve you tried asking for it?Usually if your under package, its included inside. Anyway, i won't advice to ask to be induced if theres no serious reasons. In a way, a reputable gynae will know when should you be induced. For my case, when i had my first boy, my gynae adviced me to be induced as my boy showed no signs of wanting to come out even at 39th wk, so in the end we chose to induce 2 days before 40th week.

I know its not ez during then last lap, but just hang in there ya? Im almost at 37weeks now too , always perspiring even after bath, also not sure hw i would react if waterbag burst or if I 'show' or if it will be the same case as with my first boy, have to induce, but i thk it will be a good experience and worthwhile experience. Hang in there, gal. Just need to know your not alone:)
Ok i will try...am trying now... :) thanks for yr advice...

both my girls were induced. elder one don't want to come out, gynae suggested induce.. 2nd one hubby going overseas reservist around my edd so got to get her out early. (Why never defer? Long Story) Both morning induce, evening time come out.

elder one, I never have epi.. but I cannot take it for my 2nd one and gotten 1... so not true that induced labour confirmed more painful. I think every pregnancy is different.. I was super energetic.. all the way to my 41th weeks... orchard shopping almost everyday.. my 2nd one, all I want to do is to stay at home.

anyway you guess who i am.. my elder girl is named Joi, and my 2nd chubby girl is named Joey.
:tlaugh:

Wah very 'fear factor' lei!! Lol i scare stiff now...anyhow gt chance de!! :)
 
i ever tot of going w/o epidural for number 2, but abit worried i may have low threshold for such pain ahahha....dun wana make it an unpleasant birthing experience oso. Shall c how. I rem during my recent visit to the gynae, he seemed to put it across to me in a matter of factly manner that most would opt for epidural ahahha. My gynae is a male la.... but i guess ultimately if opt not to have epidural, just pray hard that it won't be too long a labour....cos the moment dilate 6cm i thk, if ask for epidural oso cannot laio

dun worry so much juz17, just take things as it comes...i oso dunno how is it like to have water bag burst naturally or to 'show' since my first boy, i had to be induced. I keep asking my hubby what if cte jam on that day then how?? ahhahaha No matter under what circumstances, we still have to get baby out, well lets just look forward to the arrival of our bundle of joy!!!:)
