Cramps/Contractions:
So many mummies having this - Trace, Rebecca, RibenaLi, Littlebluey. Let's all take care, esp Ribena, on standby already. Last sat I got so many contractions that I started timing, luckily the intervals got further rather than closer, coz I got 5 to 6 contractions within a hour. But according to what I read, if its not real labour, the pain may go away when you change position, e.g. go lie down or stand up to walk.
TraCe, you ok now?
Whitepaper:
Wow good that you got everything ready, then you can just focus on resting more.
Dimpletot:
My boy about the same size as yours, 2.7 kg at 36w+. But he not engaged yet, doc only says he is getting lower.
pildough:
What happened to your spine that you cant have relief injected thru spine?
A good news to share, my placenta finally moved up and doc says can try for natural birth yeah! So now then I start thinking about epidurals and labour pain, another worry haha..
Those seeing gynae tom, Rachel's mummy and purebliss, good luck and keep us updated!

Yes according to my Doc, squats will help open up pelvis for baby to drop in and engage.

hi all
Back from check up. :-( last check up, did v swab test for GBS and result shows that i got infection. So am on antibiotics and will be given during labour too. Am in 36wk+.
And, within a wk bb weight didnt really gain, only gain 9g only. And Gynae said is ok, saying that now she slowly down. Got like that mei? Am abit :-(. Hope bb will turn 2.8 at least when born. Now monitor bb movement , at least 10 or 12 movement. Check every 1hr.
Next check up will do CTG. Likely end of wk might be due.
Buy nipple cream, barrier cream and the flannel wrap at parent craft

Juz Us, RibenaLi:
Thanks too =)
Lilifc:
Cheer up, the med will clear the infection not to worry. For baby's weight gain, did you try taking any tonics? I suspect my baby growth spurt was due to the black chicken I ate, coz after I stopped the gain stopped too. Must cheer up ok..

Dun think halfway thru sex, the waterbag will burst leh, aiyoyo! hee hee...
If not I read somewhere that masturbation oso helps becos it will release a chemical known as oxytocin (something like that) to promote labour!
So shiok leh u gals going on ML alrd, juz now I asked my HR regarding the ML, apparently they are still working on it and dun hv a definite ans for me -_-""
Lili,
I read somewhere after a while, both mother and bb growth might halt/increase slower. If u want yr bb to gain more weight before delivery, then drinking milk will be gd!

Juz Us:
I learnt from prenatal yoga some modified squat poses, maybe you can try, coz no need squat all the way down til knees completely bent.
1) Use a chair, open your legs big then just squat over the chair, if you cannot tahan then just drop your butt and sit on the chair.
2) Stand against the wall so that the wall is supporting ur back then slowly slide down to squat position.
But do be very careful when trying at home hor.. normally during yoga we only do each ex twice thats it.

<font color="0000ff">Some methods to induce labour!
One of the most common methods to induce labor is nipple stimulation. This causes the release of a hormone called Oxytocin (which is the natural version of the labor inducing drug Pitocin), and it can be very effective in starting contractions. It must be done correctly though, or it can lead to very intense contractions.
Another suggestion that works for some women is taking a bumpy car ride. Also, in this category would be any form of light to moderate exercise that would help the baby to descend into the pelvic region. Examples are walking, dancing, squatting, or if you want to be more creative, belly dancing and using a hoola hoop! All of these methods can help the cervix to dilate and in turn increase the release of Oxytocin which causes the contractions to start and intensify.
Another one of the tips on how to induce labor is one you may have heard of before. Having sex!! Now the thought of having sex at this point in your pregnancy may or may not appeal to you, but if it does, here's why it works. Semen contains hormones called Prostaglandins and they are effective at ripening the cervix. Also, when a woman has an orgasm, her body releases Oxytocin which helps the uterus to contract. So actually both partners contribute to this method of inducing labor.
Relaxation is a natural method that can also assist in inducing labor at home. The mind is very powerful and stress can get in the way of your labor progressing. Meditation and visualization are effective ways to help your body relax and focus on getting labor started.
Finally, one of the safest and most effective methods to induce labor is acupressure. Labor acupressure is a simple method of pressing specific spots on your skin with fingers and thumb which not only gets the contractions going, but also ripens the cervix and helps the baby to descend.
Additionally, acupressure has the added benefit of helping to reduce labor pain, so you'll be feeling happier and more relaxed when your little bundle of joy arrives in your arms!
