Worried.

I'm in my 40 weeks and yet to give birth. Doc did mentioned that I might need to go through induction of labour (IOL). At the moment, I don't feel any contraction. Is it normal? I'm worried. How was the process? (IOL) Keen to share any experiences. Thank you.

Omg..same so worried. I wanna wait longerā€¦but my gynae seems to wanna induce me asap though baby and me is healthy. I read itā€™s normal to give birth later than edd for ftm. Starting to feel cramps and backache but come and goā€¦but I have yet to dilate šŸ˜¢ Pls share your experience. Iā€™m so scared of induction, coz it might not work for allā€¦and end up with c sect.

Same here, no pain contraction nor pain even up to 40 weeks, decided to take up Gynae suggestion to induce, upon ā€œcheck inā€ to the hospital on 40 weeks, signs of labor came(bleeding and contractions).. didnā€™t induce

Sometimes different body react differently. Better to go through induction to tell your body itā€™s time. The doc will burst the water bag manually and from then on, you will start to feel contraction. Best of luck!

Babyā€™s too comfy in mummyā€™s tummy... Did your gynae do a membrane sweep? My doctor did that when I went in for my doctorā€™s visit at 39weeks+5days.. and baby came 39+6..

First pregnancy contraction usually is later. I didnā€™t have any contraction at 38 weeks but was told to induce for fear of overgrowth as baby weight is a little big.

Everybody is different. Your baby is too comfortable in your womb and doesn't want to come out. šŸ˜… I did not feel any contractions and was induced too, nothing to worry.

My wife nv had the pop effect of waterbag. Week 35 - day 1 leak > day 2 got blood > day 3 give birth liao. 4 day old now šŸ¤£

Hi, Please don't worry and follow the recommendation of your gynae. Everything will be fine :)
