No,it doesn't.It will only put pressure on
your liver if you are always lying on that side.Just try and alternate positions as much as the body allows.Use the back seldomly.

Am less than two weeks gone.
Hw will I lie down?

You can lie in any position you want at 2weeks.However,the best lying position is on your sides.

if your stomach is making some noise,then that is from your belly and not your womb.Perhaps you have constipation.

You can start lying on your sides.

thorpido:
How are you now?

Fine Sir, went fr checkup n d doc said am fine. Thanks sooo much.

Ahnie,sorry.
The vigilante will last for some months and could be up to a year.I believe you are full time at home now,so try to catch some sleep when the baby sleeps during the day too.
If you have someone with you - MIL or your mum,you could get her to help you with the baby sometimes.Even if you are on exclusive breas.tfeeding,you could extract and the baby takes that while you rest.

Good morning doc. I went 4 my ANC on monday @40wks+2days,my doc tried 2 sweep my membrane 2 get things started but he couldn't,he says my os is close n d baby is still floating.

At 40wks,you are due.Your OS being closed means your labour has not started.The opening of the uterus is closed.What the doctor tried to do was to initiate labour.Your baby floating means he/she is still surrounded by the amniotic sac intact.It is not abnormal to have the OS closed at 40wks but the baby is due and if labour does not start on its own,the doctor may have to induce it.You don't want to keep the baby forever in there.
Your labour could start any moment from now but if it doesn't,you may have to be induced as the doctor said on your next appointment.Induction does not harm you or the baby,so you don't have to be scared.

Walk around a lot.Take long strolls.
If you are up to it and your hubby is,have sex.Do it everyday hence.Also stimulate your n1pples occasionally.Your sexual hormones are stimulated that way and it helps to induce labour.

Yes,but that is if you are up to it and there is no condition that stops it.

Sorry Ahnie,didn't see this cos my moniker wasn't mentioned.
Most cough syrups are not okay for babies less than 6mths.What you should do is get Vicks vapour rub to use.It helps.
If the cough persists,take the baby back to the hospital.

Thorpido
Well done sir. Really enjoying your contributions. Never knew you're a doc.

Am so fine o. All is well,my baby is grown,she's one year old now but i must confess that God has blessed with a very smart kid. Preparing her for school cuz she knows her eyes,mouth,etc. lol she calls mummy. Her dad,that jerk is still acting up. He last called dec last year and said he was no longer interested which didn't even move me,cuz i have moved on. I have been waiting for his divorce letter but haven't seen it yet. But my dear,all is just fine. I don't think i can live with that guy ever again . After a year and i still feel very comfortable without him SMH. Well,God's plans are not the plans of man. Thanks dear, u all give me hope.

Glad to hear you are doing fine and making progress.it's not worth it being in a relationship that has no joy.

Dr please I'm worried. My wife is 39 weeks pregnant as at last week Tuesday. She was in clinic that last week Tuesday, scan was done and it shows baby head has not yet turned. Her due date are March 3, 4 and 5. Baby weight was 2.3kg. The senior matron on duty told her that there was no cause for fear that baby would turn since the baby is small. By the way it's a government owned general hospital. Her next visit is March 12, then she would be week 41 weeks. She is very fine and baby is kicking very firmly everyday with lots of waist pain. What do we do at this stage please? This is our first time.

Just wait and hopefully baby will turn by your next visit at 41 weeks.If the baby continues to stay breech(not head down),then a C/S might be required.
That shouldn't get you worried.

Thank you so much. We hope baby turns, my wife don't want to hear of C/S at all.
