Mommys to be in SEPTEMBER 2010

Hi Ladies! Hope u all had a great day.
@Ntoko- I also hv the discharge and was planning to ask my gynae abt it in my next visit (thursday)
I'm also doing a planned C-Sec next week tuesday. I can't wait for the 12th it just seems too far ( that is if the baby still hasn't come out yet n m already 38wks 2days)
Good luck to those having their little ones this week

Yes Joli did my shoot. I was also very impressed with how the pics panned out coz towards the end I was very tired.

Dont worry Meags you will have your bundle of joy in no time.

Ginah your preggy photo is GORGEOUS!! Did Joli do it??
My pregnancy is going fine! 10 weeks now. (feels like I should be a lot further - time is DRAGGING) and no morning sickness. I'd say the only thing that has changed is that I eat like a horse now.

Cant believe you ladies are having your babies now!!!!!!!!!! it's all just so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes ladies i am excited and looking forward to thursday.
Will probably only update you ladies on Sunday when I come back.

Who went for a csec yesterday?

Ntoko also having the discharge. To those who know what does it mean if there is an itch?

@Sher dont even go there, I have decided to use my LGs old linen
for now coz I am not even sure if she will have the stuff ready on sat. I really have a good mind of cancelling.

Thanx Meags how is it going with your pregnancy?

Finally got my preggy shoot pics, will post one.

Hi ladies

sorry to butt in here but I follow your thread because I'm so excited for you all!!!!!!!

Mom2B I am a midwife so I hope my opinion will help you

Induction will almost always land up failed and end in c-section if the Bishop score is not right. The bishop score takes into account the length of your cervix, the softness of it (ripeness), the descent of the baby, how many weeks you are and other factors.

Generally at 38 weeks, the cervix is unfavourable which means induction is likely to fail.

Induction is generally only used for mommies who are post dates (41 weeks).
Some mommies like to be induced by 40 weeks as they are tired and ready to have baby, and if you choose to go with induction, just remember if your bishop score indicates induction isn't a good option, you should keep that in mind.

type in bishop score and labour into google and it will give you more information. when your gynae does your internal exam to assess if induction will work, ask him your scores and then you'll be able to know for yourself if it's worth even trying for induction.

Hope that's helped a bit!!

okay so the milky discharge is normal... just your body getting ready... the panty liner issue too. long as it aint itchy or smelly

the induction... if baby is a good weight at 38 weeks theres no issue, also there are a good few reasons doc may have... if your placenta is calcifying... if your babys movement is slowing... if babys heart rate is not looking good... make sure he tells you why though...

and induction isnt bad... i had it and i came out okay... thing is induction doesnt end in c sections... the high percentage is because in 90% of cases the mom was gonna need a c section anyhow... baby wasnt coming for a reason you see. but if your baby is ready then you will be fine

luv ya all

sorry that was for Mom2B
