Can you ask your doctor to induce you sooner then your edd ?
I'm here now waiting to see what hes measuring and how.my cervix looked, is it normal to be dilated any at 36w?
Yes either dilated or not is normal. You could end up dilated to a 3 for weeks or literally go from 1 to labor overnight
Well husband was 10.10 and I was 9.8 so im worried I'm giving birth to a toddler lol like I also feel like I wont have enough room inside me for him to be able to grow right . I kno prior they were keeping an eye on his size but also has anyone had numbness on only 1 hand for days?
First baby I was done, she was measuring huge and I'm only 5'0. I was in so much pain. Even with her measuring off the charts I wasn't induced until 39 weeks. Though I did have one h*** of a labor her chunky self still was rushed into the nicu for 24hr hold. Don't rush it hun. As bad as the pain is now there is nothing in this world like being denied your baby.
I didnt post this to be judged. Cool it. Take ur judgment else where. I posted bc I'm terribly uncomfortable and ftm and wondering what options were.
Yes obviously a lot of babies may have a good chance of being okay if born in the last few weeks but your doctor will wait til 39 weeks if nothing is wrong I’m sure. It just wouldn’t make sense for a doctor to purposely deliver earlier than that lol
My Dr said 39 weeks. Not 38 weeks and 5 days. 39 weeks period! You want to let your baby grow as long as its possible!
Unless you're beyond 40 weeks or it's medically necessary i don't believe there's anything they can do.
You can ask, but they’ll likely would say no to anything before 39 weeks. No good doctor wouldn’t induce without medical reason before the due date.
As far as I know they'll only do that for a medical reason! Is everything okay?
Yea I just cant breathe or eat snd keep anything down he just is in such a bad spot I'm starving and can hardly move. Todsy I have my 36w apt so i was gunna ask but i didnt eanna seem too pushy. I told them last week i cant eat and keep anything down so i asked about maybe meal filler drinks like ensure or something and they told me no and to keep drinking water but that dont stop my hunger lol I'm worried if I'm not eating baby isnt eating
@natty947 Just stay hydrated and try and get a few bites of anything you might be able to tolerate in you. I don't know that level of uncomfortable yet, but you got this! The last few weeks are always the worst but so important for baby's lungs. Try and get some rest. Hang in there. 💜💜
Babies head is measuring 35w3d baby belly measuring at 36w3d and my belly measuring at 39w and hes 7lbs. They didnt chk my cervix, says they will next week at 37w apt.
