Mummydd:
Make una help me touch light abeg...am 38weeks +3, scan measures 39+3 and baby's weight is 3.7. Doc said I should come for induction by next week. He said baby will get bigger if am to wait till edd (19th). Am scared, I feel he's not giving me a lot of options. Am a FTM

Scan doesn't give accurate measurement of weight.
Although you're term now for all you know you can even fall into labour before induction.
You can let your Dr know you're open to induction but would rather wait till 40 weeks before you do it. We have people that birth 4. Kg babies and they are ftms so that shouldn't be a problem as long as you and baby are fit.


Good luck

I think you should follow your doctor's advice. Induction is just an artificial way of starting labour

Induction usually (not always) fails if its done too early.
I've seen from here that most inductions done at 40-42 weeks is usually (not always) successful while those done by 37-38 weeks usually (not always) fails.
After induction, there is no going back to rest or so, its CS. And if the only ish is the weight then that isn't much of a problem unless she has a small pelvis


Mummydd, another option is to ask your Dr to do a membrane sweep for you, it hastens labour if it works, if it doesn't work..you and lo can still hang out for a while.

Ftms checklist.

-cleaning your nips regularly in preparation for breastfeeding (you can start from third trimester especially if you're prone to contractions to avoid false/early labour as stimulation of the nips causes uterine contraction)

- once heard that massaging of the breast makes milk flow from day one ( I didn't do it for my first and I had a hard time making it flow, did it for my second and flow began few hours after birth). I know your breast might be sore right now but start gently and before you know it, sore breast will be a thing of the past.

- watch child birth videos on You-tube. It helps to mentally prepare you for what you're about to do. Seeing those women keep it together will give you the courage to do same. Also being able to keep track of your labour, knowing what stage you are gives you a sort of peace and inner strength. You know what to expect and the pain that comes with each stage.

-read on breastfeeding a neonate. How to place him and proper way to latch. Also how to change diapers. The first few days can be so hard especially if your omugwo person doesn't arrive on time or ends up being unreliable.

-read on postpartum depression. It won't prevent it but hopefully it will help you recognize and manage it when it appears.

-read on all both VD and CS delivery. After my CS, I found out my pregnancy book has a whole chapter dedicated to CS and the so many things I should have known that would have helped me deal with the pain and emotional turmoil I was in. Nobody loves to go under the knife but these things happen so just be a Boys Scouts: Be prepared.

- always carry your dh along. The best thing that will ever happen to you after childbirth is a helpful partner. Cos you will get tired and cranky and frustrated but having someone willing to help makes it a lot more better. Split night duties and teach him to change diapers, burp a baby, use the carrier, cuddle etc. So from henceforth you might want to be dropping hints (some men are natural fathers and would do all these and more not because it is expected but because they love and enjoy being a father)

- how to take care of an epi site or your CS scar. Dos and don'ts. You'll still need to listen to your doctor tell you what to do but at least you'll be able to ask the right questions. .for example if Dr says do your sitzbath with warm water and salt and savlon, you'll know from previous knowledge that some people itch from using savlon and some would rather use cold water. You can ask what type of stitch was used on you.
You'll also have an idea on how soon you should start to feel better. You'll know what pain relievers are safest for a breastfeeding mom etc.

-be very alert during your labour. Nurses and Drs are human and prone to mistakes. Their mistake can coa them a suspension or their license but it will cost you much more. Ask questions. What drip/ drug is this? Why are you giving me? How will it help me? Ask politely.
I have used GH for my 2 birth and I'm always all eyes and ears with Google ready to check the drugs.
My first child, induction failed because nurse rushed the pitocin, I was the one that called the Drs attention to it and see the way he yelled at the nurse and told her to get morphine (a too grade analgesic) for me. Then I was wheeled into the theatre and given spinal ana (but it was recorded as general at first but because of my bp matter, spinal was recommended, nurse didn't change it from general to spinal in my file o). Got to the recovery room and was asked to sit up after some hours, I refused to because I argued I was given spinal and not general. The other lady that stood up to early battled headache and neck pain for weeks! (I saw her at immunization and she still had a stiff neck!). The nurse had to go back to the theatre nurse to confirm and correct.
For my second child VBAC. I was told to buy pitocin but I knew that there's no way a person with a previous scar could be induced in labour to avoid uterine rupture. I bought the pitocin and other drugs but hid it in the drawer instead of placing it on the bed like I should. I don't want an overzealous nurse or Dr to do me a favor without first reading my history. When my Dr asked me for my drugs, I will just jejely bring it out one by one. He told me to bring the others out and leave the pitocin in the drawer (he knows that shits happen in this side of the world). The pitocin was used to expel the placenta after birth.

I'm not sure but I do know they usually turn you back if they don't have your history. That's why they usually refer emergency cases to LUTH and they do threaten to collect all from you even if you don't come for antenatal.
