Wondering if can induce labour

Currently 39 weeks 2 days. My last check up was a week ago and the doctor was saying I’m alr 2cm dilated and even did a membrane sweep for me. She said I probably will go into labour these few days but til now my water bag has yet to burst. My mucus plug has alr come out 1-2 days after my membrane sweep too. My next check up will be in 3 days. Not sure if I can ask the doctor whether it is possible to induce labour? Isit possible? I’m a subsidised patient with NUH, don’t have a gynae I am with. Is induction of labour rly more pain compared to waiting for waterbag to burst? And normally 2cm dilated by now….. shouldn’t there be some sort of progression…. More dilation. especially with the membrane sweep done #firsttimemom

Hi I’m in similar situation as you right now! Wondering did you get induced in the end? And how was your experience with it 😊

Feeding newborn

I am at my wit's end. My baby is 2 weeks only but during the day time she sleeps too long and needs to be dramatically aroused to wake up to feed and at night she wakes and fusses every 1-2 hours. I am not sure if she is drinking my breast milk fully so I ended up giving her formula. And after that too, she woke up after 30mins?! What am I doing wrong?

That's like my first born. Sleep alot in day time and wakes up every 3 hrs for milk. That's her pattern until before 1 years old her pattern changed to sleeping long at night. Whereas for my second born is the opposite. What I can share with you is to FM before sleep or long latch then burp, massage, swaddle and baby sleep well. They will have their pattern change every now and then so you will of course have the sleepless night for start.

Feeds for newborn

My 2 weeks newborn has gained her birth weight, can she stop with the scheduled feeding and be fed on demand only (4-5 hourly)?

Below 2-3 months I will stick with 2-3 hourly feeds even if she’s sleeping.

Bringing newborn out

Just curious if there are any tips in managing pump schedule when bringing a newborn out? I don't drive so have to take public transport/taxi. My usual pump schedule is 3hourly so not sure how the mummies manage when they are outside

I try to limit my time outside ard 3-4hrs max cos I dont want to bring so many things out. Pump right before going out so you have 3hours to not think about pumping. If i will be out longer, will bring along a wearable pump so i can pump with less hassle
