Piglet, did e doc say must go for induce? If not then it's ok to wait a while more just eat more nutritous stuff to let ur bb gain more wt.
Min n sparkle , u all also take care n eat more if planning to wait a while longer.
Bliss, e reason u r going for c sect is ?actually I like that ur gynE is so pro natural, I wish my gynae is like urs. But perhaps my water level is low that's y.u think thru k if u intend to close shop n no reasons for u to go c sect then u might want to consider . My fren just delivered last mth via natural w induced but she went thru c sect for her #1 also in aug 08 cause cervix din open. So it's possible that # 2 will be easier via induced. U might want to consider
re:induced
just to share my personal experience.Actually not all induced will end up in c sect, my # 1 was aldo induced,I was admitted at 11pm insert 1 tablet to ripen cervix and another one at 7am, gynae burst water bag at 9 am n I delivered at 3 pm. It's actually not very long if u consider from 7 am to 3 pm IMO . From 11pm to 7 am it was bearable aching pain, not much contractions felt n definitely no dilation for me.I took epi at abt 10 am. I think e only prob is the worry abt distress of baby if e whole process takes too long. But I would still encourage mummies to try for natural ( induced or not) if gynae feels it's ok. But discuss w Hubby n gynae lah. For me, e only reason I din want to be induced is because I want to experience water bag burst, show n contractions naturally since this may br my last one. So a bit sian that gynae suggested induced lor. I rather experience pain in middle of night n rush to hos, hehe like very exciting like that.
Lin, my water level is abt 6, gynae say that is borderline low, if dropped to btwn 4-6 then must go induced within 1 day. Pray that it will not drop that low.
Koaru, I was siting near the door in pink with my Hubby n ger plus few frens. But I came quite late abt 1 plus, aiyah, shld have asked Pauline. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] yup there were a few pregnant ladies.
