In a way he was ready to come out... As in naturally your mucous plug came out and all. How many kg was he ?
So it does not signal early delivery hor?
Yeah gd keke 1 more free person to chat here.heheh
My first child was induced due to "not growing well" at 37.3 weeks too.... I ended up having an emergency csection after 16 hours of labour that was progressing too slowly and baby's heart rate started to get low. A part of me to this day feels perhaps it was just not time for him to arrive, but in saying that, safety is always the first consideration.
Inducing, normally will insert a type of pill into the vagina.... And if that doesn't bring on contractions then they will use the drip too. I heard that with inducing the contractions can be more painful..... And there is a risk that labour will fail to progress which will then require you to have a csection.
But even without inducing... There is still a risk of cesarean due to lack of progress in labour or fetal distress.

wah i think liao also scared leI pump for my #1 cuz he didnt wan to latch but had alot of engorgement probs previously, so hope to direct latch this round. but bf is reali difficult, my nip always feel so sore after each feed n its rather painful when feeding. I read up n watched videos but im still not sure if im doing the right or wrong things though I observe each step per the video. .. hai duno wan to do exclusuve pumping again but I reali like the closeness when latching, yet I cringed at the pain after each feed... : (
I always feel that latching can remove blocked milk ducts better than expressing. My advice is try latching as much as you can especially for the first month. Subsequently, when you are preparing for work, can introduce the bottle to avoid nipple confusion. I have been doing hybrid of latching and expression and wonder if it's right choice but just have to get him to drink more milk coz' he's very sleepy these days. And I want him to gain weight quickly too. I guess once he is less sleepy, I'll just to full latching. I've also gone on internet to read of some babies who were on exclusive pumping first 3 months but were switched back to latching after that.I pump for my #1 cuz he didnt wan to latch but had alot of engorgement probs previously, so hope to direct latch this round. but bf is reali difficult, my nip always feel so sore after each feed n its rather painful when feeding.

my #1 was also like your case. Don't dwell too much k? At 38 weeks, I was told to be prepared that baby will come out about 2.1kg. She turned out 2.9kg. I'm not saying that yours will come out bigger or whatsoever but I need to stress on the fact that scans are just a gauge. I understand your worries but since gynae says take the wait and see approach, just have to do so.Gynae says not to induce... Just wait and see... Quite worried now...

Lilacz, me same as you for #1, also had problems direct latching and I think I had 3-4 times of engorgement lead to mastitis! This time I going to prepare myself. Bought the Purelan nipple cream plus the lansinoh soothies (like fever patch kind of thingies) to sooth the nipples... hope this time I will be successful bf!I pump for my #1 cuz he didnt wan to latch but had alot of engorgement probs previously, so hope to direct latch this round. but bf is reali difficult, my nip always feel so sore after each feed n its rather painful when feeding.

I think the soreness of the nipples will only be mainly in the beginning when the nipples are sensitive. I also kenah mastitis twice last time round. This time round must be more careful.Lilacz, me same as you for #1, also had problems direct latching and I think I had 3-4 times of engorgement lead to mastitis! This time I going to prepare myself.

Persevere! Let's encourage each other! Jia you mummy!

Meanwhile, take more protein rich food like lean meats, soya bean products. And also, if you look at this chart, you are not too far off, don't worry: http://www.babycenter.com/average-fetal-length-weight-chart

Hello! Are you a SAHM or FTWM? If FTWM and you intend to BF for long then yes getting a breast pump is a must so that you could continue to express milk while you're at work to maintain your supply. I would recommend a double electric pump so that you could cut down time taken for expressing as you'd probably be expressing every 3 hours.Hi mummies, I'm new here. Expecting my #2 baby boy in mid june and i need some help with bf tips as #1 did not successfully bf him. If I intend to bf bb fully, is it necessary for me to get a breast pump? I'm afraid my milk supply is little for bb..

If SAHM then you might want to get a manual pump or a single electric just to express in between time and those first few weeks to get your supply going. Hope this helps you
