Approaching 40 weeks

Hi mummies, I can understand, you are not alone. Just to share my experience, Monday I went for check up on 39weeks 6 days, no dilation was observed. I have mild contractions on and off. Hence, gynae advised me to induce when baby reaches 40 weeks. I did the nipple stimulation at home, the contractions did increased. I was hoping the cervix to be dilated, but it was not, sto after discussed with my husband, we decided to go ahead with the induce labour, I was induced and delivered yesterday at 40+1 day. Everything went well. Baby was out yesterday after 16 hours. Jia you all mummies! Best wishes to all of you.

Am at 40+1 today, going to induce at 40+3. Initially,I was also hoping for baby to come earlier,but life has its own plans, and I caught covid (first time somemore), at 39+4. I still have a faint positive line today, and hoping fervently that my husband doesn't catch covid as well, else he's gonna get quarantined when baby is out. So yups, I'm currently not hoping for baby to be out until both of us are confirmed negative haha. Bake jiu bake ba, don't start pooping in me can already haha.

I feel you!!!! I was so demoralized. My edd suppose to be 17 sept. On week 38, i was still not dilated so gynae gave me till week 40 to induce. I thought i had the time to try induce labor myself by walking alot, squats etc bt nothing worked till edd and was induced. I guess first baby mostly goes overdue. Anyways i end up having 2 failed induction, with having to endured 47 hours of labor and gabe up and did emergency csect and delivered yesterday.

i’m 39 weeks today and i’m feeling the exact same 😭 all my other pregnant friends due in Sept have given birth already and is already going through confinement and then there’s me. i’ve been 3cm dilated for a week plus now with no active labour signs.

I'm in my 39 week day 5.. still no contractions and no dilation. Gynea said she will wait till 40 week day 1 and asked me to get admitted to induce labor. fingers crossed 🤞
