As a mum of two, both of my pregnancy exceed EDD. For my first at NUH, doctor allow me to hold till 41 weeks. But for my second at KKH I was only allowed till 40 weeks. First pregnancy induced, second suppose to be induce but didnt go as plan due to priority cases ahead of me. Therefore no bed. My recent KKH experience I did had cervix check at 39 weeks and membrane sweep. I was 3cm dilate but no sign of birth at all 🤣 I always hope second would be faster. But not at all. And again at 40 weeks I did membrane sweep again but no sign. I only had mild contractions for more than 12 hr but nothing help until I was on epidural and halfway through baby wanted to come out 🫢 At that point I was dilating 4cm to 10cm within seconds.
