Its hard I know I got little more than 10 weeks abd time is starting to slow down .... but c section is not worth it we both know that. Just tiny bit more you csne do this! Babu dust!
You can do this!! I'm only 27 weeks and between my legs is killing me, I'm having really bad anxiety about how bad the final weeks are going to be. Stay strong!!
I know it seems like the baby will be in there forever, but a c section would just give you unnecessary pain. Take a warm bath or some Tylenol to ease the pain. This is my fifth baby and I would give anything to have a full term birth. My last two came at 35 and 36 weeks and I wish they'd have stayed in longer.
Well some don't have much as far as cervical change until they are in active labor. Before my water broke I was checked at previous appointment and I was at 1 and nothing changed until labor then it was pretty fast. I'm sure some contractions is good sign! Just try your best to relax
@fate I'm trying to be strong! This is my second child and am trying to do a VBAC. My body had a lot of trauma from my last birthing experience. I'm praying this time is different. Thanks for the encouragement! I really need it.
@Jules Yeah, my doctor told me the same thing. Thanks Jules!I'm going to try not to think about it.
Sounds like good plan! Make some plans with your lo just stay busy. Cleaning whatever you need to do it will help keep your mind off of it. Trust me I know it's not easy at all I'm getting antsy already I still got 10 weeks but I've been doing my best to keep busy.
Girl I was one day away from being 43 weeks pregnant when I had my daughter. I completely understand. Don't worry the baby will come soon.. right when we are about to give up is usually around the time they come.
@Jules Cleaning is all I can do. I can't drive because I get anxiety attacks that turn into panic attacks, which lower my blood pressure. This pregnancy has been great, NOT!
@Mylove2 OMG! 43 weeks?! Woman, you should get a metal! I hope you're right and that this baby comes soon.
No, I ended up in a c-section. I was beyond done so my doctor at the time induced me since I was full term. My doctor then and doctor now don't believe in going past 40 weeks. @jules
Almost not 43 weeks, she came right at the end of the 42nd week. I know right.. I was hard to handle the couple of weeks though because I was in a lot of pain. Don't worry about it hun..
Oh I see. I would never allow it for myself unless there was medical reason just because I know the chance of c section goes up and I really don't want one. Especially now that I was so lucky to not even tear with my first and hoping for same thing. But everyone has right to do what they feel is best for them. I'm curios to know why the doc doesn't believe in going over 40 weeks though..I mean we have good technology now days but you never know it could look like they are at certain point but really be earlier in which case it's best to let baby keep cooking. But that's just my opinion and thoughts. Nothing on anyone personally at all. I hope you feel better soon and not be in too much pain! Sending you big hug. Your almost there. Have you tried using birthing/excersice ball? Or pump if you have one? And someone said that if you get contractions and drink chamomile tea it keeps them going. Never tried it myself though.
@Jules they say it puts baby in a more stressful environment. My daughter was 9lbs 9oz at 38 weeks! Can you imagine if I would have gone past 40 weeks?! This baby is measuring big as well. Never heard of chamomile tea increasing contractions? I'm trying it tonight. Thanks for the hug!
It puts baby in stress to be in longer? Ya thats big baby can't imagine how big she would have been later. My daughter was 7pounds at 39 weeks I thought that was good size. Can't imagine myself even having baby over 8 pounds. Oh and people say pineapple helps too. Plus it's yummy!
Ya can't imagine. I'm surprised she didn't come out on her own by then. Hopefully something helps. Keep walking, squats, bounce and roll your hips on ball, pump or nipple stimulation if you don't have one, try the tea I never did chamomile I did red raspberry and evening primerose oil, obviously sex, and pineapple. At least your not over due yet, there's still hope!
@Jules Did rasberry tea work? I know I'm not overdue but my biggest fear is that I wait and wait to try to do a vbac and I can't because the baby is to big. Thanks for all the tips!
