40 weeks +

Hi alll

My due date has come and gone and baby isnt out yet:-(

Im not getting any signs of labour other than the ofd cramps here and there! Im really starting to get impatient now i want to just hold my baby now i found out really early on i was pregnant so been waiting for 9 months

Everyone is contstantly ringing n texting me asking if there is any news whixh Is also annoyig me now even though i know they mean well!

Im walking alot any other tips of what i should do???

Im a few days over
I
Have also noticed im feeling my baby move alot less aaj kal is ths normal??

Re: 40 weeks +

Also here in the uk they dont induce u till ur 12 days late but im scared to get induced i hear when ur indcued it increases chances pf c section..... I want labour to start itself naturally

Re: 40 weeks +

I would contact ur midwife about the less baby movement, it may just be nothing & d baby is jus nice n comfy in there but at least u'll have a peace of mind.
And I was induced due to my waters broke earlier & my contractions wernt naturally starting. I don't think that inducing leads to c-section at all.

Try not to stress out and wait for ur next appointment where u may be required a sweep which often kick starts d labour.

Re: 40 weeks +

Yes i have an appointment with my midwife end of this week where she will do the sweep im hoping that will get things started inshallah

Re: 40 weeks +

awwww inshaAllah you will be holding your baby in your arms sooon!

and dont worry about induction.. I was afraid too but guess what I ended up with c-section after 36 hours of painful labor so pains or not, c section is just something that can happen and honestly it wasnt taht bad so please keep that in your mind.. it’s not the end of the world. :hug:

walk, walk, walk, eat pineapple and I remember reading about some herbs to start labor but ask yoru midwife.. sometimes they tell you natural ways to start labor once you are past your due date!

good luck.. sending prayers your way :flower1:

Re: 40 weeks +

LOL my friend's also due right now and I ask her everyday "are you still pregnant???" and im glued to FB so I can get the good news asap :o

Re: 40 weeks +

Thanks gtg i will start eating pineapple- midwfe said to walk, eat spicy food and sex but i cant be dealing with that now im tooo fat!

Sara u sound like my friends every hr they r asking me

Re: 40 weeks +

MizzKhan.. check with your midwife regarding evening primrose oil.. it comes in capsule form too and helps to thin and dilate the cervix.. make sure you check with your midwife regarding that.

Dont do castor oil though.. it's messy and painful!

Re: 40 weeks +

Re: 40 weeks +

I saw your name and thought to myself, “she is still here” :cb:

good luck.. inshaAllah you will be just fine.. sending lots of prayers your way :flower1:

Re: 40 weeks +

almost there! :)

i was due to be induced at 7 days past but at 4 days, his movements ceased. we got worried, headed to the hospital to get it checked out and i was 2 cms dilated! they broke my water that night and the next afternoon i had my lovely babe. so you never know- when you go in for your appointment tomorrow, she might just be on her way. i think they stop moving because they're in position and there's not much room.

also, either way, you are 41 weeks- they will NOT medically let the baby stay inside you for longer than this week. the quality of the placenta begins to deteriorate the longer the baby is in which is obviously not good for them. my OB specifically told me week 41 was it for me, fears of induction or not. luckily he came sooner on his own!

also, even if you do need an induction, epidural zindabad! :D

Re: 40 weeks +

awww girls are cute..you can dress them up well nicely!!

Re: 40 weeks +

Lol gtg im still here!!!

Sgc i was told by my midwife that induction here in the ul happens at 41weeks+ 5 days so that will be next friday for me
