I just got back from my gynae.. It's confirm that I will be going thru induced labour in 2 to 3weeks time.. I have to deliver my bb girl by 38weeks.. Cos doc think my blood pressure will affect the baby if I drag too long.. I don't have high blood but it's borderline normal.. I'm not under medication even though doc give me.. But don't think I need to take.. I didn't take for the past one week and today tested my blood pressure is good.. But at least my umbilical cord blood resistance problem is solved..

I'm 35weeks now and bb weighs 2.4kg only.. Doc say bb will be born small frame.. But overall everything looks good for now.. At least my bb girl don't have to be born pre matured..

Hi Christine, I'm from oct thread. Thought of sharing my experience with u as we have similar case. I was also having high blood pressure at ard week 35 onwards. Bp was ard 140/90. By week 37, bp was 150/90 and i was induced on week 37.
Bb came out small at 2.1kg but healthy. But she had to delay her bcg jab becos of her weight. She gotta be at least 2.5 kg then can go for jab.
 


Hi Christine, would you be seeking a second opinion? Now I am worried. My blood pressure also on the high side. But my gynae, Prof Biswas keep saying everything is fine and say go natural birth.

hi..my blood resistance also high for blood supply to the placenta...but so far the supply fr placenta to umbilical cord is ok. Doctor thinks the um. cord supply may be affected when baby grows bigger so I also may have to induce at wk 38. But he drew me a graph. He said wks 38-39 is actually the optimal time to give birth statistically. Slightly better than wks 37 and 40...

My doc also say can go natural birth leh.. Provided everything goes well.. My doc still monitoring me every week.. I think by 37weeks if my blood pressure ok.. He will only ask me deliver after 38weeks..

I letting my doc decide for me leh.. Cos only he knows how bb is positioned and how well can bb perform during delivery..

Is it?? My doc was concern leh.. Maybe my reading was way higher.. My last visit ystd.. My doc didn't bother to check my umbilical cord alrdy.. He see I do the kick count bb doing very well and she is still growing averagely.. So doc think bb is doing fine..

Wat I'm worried is, bb movement too much could it be she is too stressful inside.. My bb movement really is non stop.. She hardly take a break... The only time I don't realise her movement is when I'm slping.. But as long as I'm awake. Her movement is Nvr ending!

Sometimes it's abit too scary and my vagina area starting to get sharp pain and abit tender alrdy. But again my doc say I'm doing fine..

hi christin3k, how big is yr bb when measured yesterday?
just to share, initially my bb movement harder to detect, but these 2 wks, think due to size and less room inside tummy, i can feel its movement…so much more oblivious. sometimes out of no where my bb will have big movement, which give me a startle.
think when my doctor and nurse talk abt bb movement, they always mention decrease and no movement to go in and see them, nvr abt too much movement.
hope other more experience moms can share with us on the too much movement if of concern!

Doc only measured her head and tummy... All correct sizing of 35weeks 1 day...

Doc only say bb head down.. Her movement too big until my tummy is always out of shape.. I do get sudden big movements too.. But most of the time.. The movement is pushing, wiggling,shifting.. I can feel she trying to move her hands n legs to another position all the time.. Cos her elbow and knee cap is always protruding..

I need to slowly rub my tummy and push it back.

Hi christin3k, glad your cord pressure is now back to normal. My bb is only 2kg at 36w. Doc did comment it's small but he says as long above 2kg don't need to go nicu upon delivery. Actually although a lot of babies are above 3kg these days, my gynae says good weight for natural birth is still around 2.8kg n I think if u are delivering around 37-38w it should b around that weight.

I think we feel it more often cos they have no space now. Sometimes I just rub my tummy abit she will also start moving. So I think it's really no space n they may also still b shifting in their sleep. Don't worry! :)

Ya.. Lucky thing now everything is back to normal... I was super worried for the past one week... My hub also say maybe will be easier to pop out since bb not that big.. The rupture won't be too big. Lol! I'm hoping I can be like my mum.. She pop me out within just 6 to 7hrs.. Without painkillers.. She say she pain awhile only..

Anyways, I'm allergic to most painkillers.. And it's confirm the normal painkiller I cannot jab.. Epidural my mum dun advice... So I'm left with laughing gas.. Lol!

From the way the bb putting on the weight.. 200g every week.. She shld be around 2.8kg to 3kg by 38weeks.. :)
 
anyone like me? toilet is my best friend now…lol.
with the increased food intake, sometimes i have clear bowel up to 3 times a day!!! i think its a bit too much...

Heh.. I rub no use. My hub rub my tummy bb will move.. It's a miracle thing that bb gets lazy on Sunday.. It has been 2 Sundays that I take her kick counts and she is taking super long.. Usual days she takes only 20mins..

She seems to know Sunday is a day whereby she is suppose to get lazy... Lol... I agree indeed no space... She is shifting her legs so much.. I can feel how she move them.. But I love it somehow.. Just dun like the pressing on my bladder part.. Haha.. She press only I may get urine leakage.. It's embarrassing especially when I'm out.. I'm wearing 2 panty liners to cover the whole vagina area..

I'm the same! I dun eat much but I go toilet at least 2 times a day.. Sometimes 3 to 4 times.. Urine wise dun have to say.. It's even worse...

But after I clear my bowels I feel tummy ache instead.. It's uncomfortable.. But at least I dun feel bloated.. :)

I intake a lot of food but I don't run to the toilet.. Constipation.. Any ideas how to force the food out?

I have bad constipation too. Have been taking prune juice to counter this problem else I have to spend more than an hour for every trip to the toilet.
 
For me taking the fish oil daily sucks...bad taste and burping for the next few hours. Heard now is crucial time for baby's brain to develop tho so no choice must continue

I heard taking kiwi is good... I take a lot of water.. So my constipation problem is gone..

hi faefever, what brand of fish oil u take?
I also had the burping problem which also made me turn off. thus just switch to nordic natural prenatal dha which helps in eliminate the bk flow and bad taste.
though i read somewhere must stop fish oil nearer to EDD, due to thinning of blood, but my nurse says no problem to continue to birth.
yr dr/nurse got comment anything?

Yup Yup, Mi heard kiwi is good too But cannot work for mi :(
Cos I have constipation problem even when I not pregnant den pregnancy make it even worst... so I have to drink prune juice alternate days... taste yucky...
 
Think weather also played a part. My intake of fruits n water have been consistent but recently also constipated. Probably weather getting bad n we just have to increase water intake

Hey babby...I take natal care triplus..it's yuck for me. I think it has been in the market for a long time. Remember when I first got them n other vitamins my mil who is a health n organic freak ask to inspect...then she declared the fish oil was the same as hers when she was preggers. Tt pisssd me off somehow, lol

hi faefever, u better do some mild stretching to yr body.
when attend childbirth class, was taught to stretched fingers then relax it. try rotating yr wrist too. if now carpal tunnel it will hurt u more if u want to breastfeed.
for feet, also push it away from body then relax. need to rotate feet as well.

my feet also swell a bit…reddish like that. but my gyane does give me medicine which i don't take unless really bad.
