Just to share

I’m left with 6 more days before my EDD. Went for my cervical check last 2 days and was told that I’m only 1 cm dilated. I have not felt any contractions or braxton hicks throughout my pregnancy!! And lately this days, my poop has been really hard and it actually tore surroundings of my anus which left me with an ulcer looking. I’ve been pooping blood lately too because of the tear and I’m so afraid to poop every single time i feel like it :( Took my lactulose but yet still having trauma. I’ve been really overthinking as to when my labour is getting closer and what if i pushes my baby out and needed episiotomy, it will affect the tear that im having right on my anus..

Try to take some yoghurt and drink at least 2l of water everyday. You can also try to eat some dragonfruits and dried prunes. Helps for me! But I still get piles and sometimes slight anus tears even though I didn't have constipation during my whole pregnancy. Oh wells. I'm at 40 Weeks 6 days now, and still waiting since my amniotic fluid is sufficient, and baby is active. I'll be induced tomorrow night at 41 weeks, if baby still doesn't arrive by then. Contractions only started to be more frequent (7 to 10 min apart) for me after Week 40 and 4 days. At Week 40, I was only 1 cm dilated. So it really differs for people. Just listen to your gynae, and if it is safe for you and baby, it is fine to wait.
