Your body is not a machine that manufactures a baby exactly on due date. Listen to your body, if baby is not ready to come out, why force it? You can safely carry baby until 42 weeks. Don't get manipulated into unnecessary medical procedures only because your body is not on doctors timeline.
Your gynae suggested csec? I was in your situation and my gynae suggested to induce and i managed to give birth via natural birth. Baby born 3.7kg. If you prefer natural birth, maybe you can check with your gynae if you can induce labour instead of csec.
That was my worry too. I waited until 40 week before i induce. My gynae kept asking me to induce since 38 week cos he say my baby has big head circumference. I wasnt dilated and baby wasnt engaged when i induce also but i was at 40 week alr. Its your choice ultimately. But be aware that baby will just get bigger and bigger each day, the chances of natural birth will be lower if baby gets too big to come out from your birth canal. Maybe you can give yourself a date to make a decision? Eg by 41 week still no contraction you can consider induce/csec?
Hi mumma, If baby is fine, please wait and continue walking, squatting and do ducks walks. You never know when the baby decides to come out. Trust the body and the natural process
Last time on my last appointment my gynae said to induce on my edd if baby isnt out yet (coz i was diabetic). But i had contractions 2 days before i tink.. 😅
Talk to baby! Hehe. My idea was to only pass national day tat time HAHA
