39 weeks 5 Days

I’m currently at 39 weeks & 5 days, but have yet to experience any contraction pain / any signs of labour. Last week gynae’s appointment, baby is 3.3kg & head still not engaged / dilated!!!! Recommended by my gynae to do c-sect instead if there’s no progress. Any advice or mummy’s who have experienced similar situation? Please share your journey! #firstbaby #advicepls

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.

I was quite surprised when he suggested c-sect as well. But he did mention if we induce there’s a chance of failure and end up going for emergency c-sect will only cost us more especially when she’s not engaged or dilated.. We barely talked about waiting longer, maybe a part of me is also afraid waiting will put risk on her too. But waiting till 41 weeks did past through my mind. Perhaps I’ll have to wait for the upcoming appointment to see if she made any progress..
