No harm in contacting her but they will most probably tell you to monitor things and call back if you’re have regular contractions or your waters break. Good luck!
Thankyou it's quite hard trying to time them as I don't know how do I time my back ache or when I get belly ache or pains down below ?
A contraction will feel like a tightening across your tummy and for some people around the back, it will last around 30 seconds to start and will increase in intensity then tail off. These will become longer, stronger and more frequent as things progress x
Have they progressed? I had the whole I think I have dodgy bowels with my second and then pains git worse.... once contractions kick in you can tell as they are painful and build up more and more. In general they want you to call when they're regular every 5 mins u less you live v far away from hospital if so call earlier.
I am also first time mom, 40 weeks today. No sign of contraction. While my doctor said head is still not yet engaged even. Quite worry about myself 😢😢 anyway take care and good luck dear.
Aw have you tried walking walking just 30mins a day does really help I also brought myself a exercise ball and eating lots of pinepple cut deep into the core is good my midwife told me.try not to worry cos worry could possible delaying things things positive that your bundle of joy will be here soon giving you cuddles That's what I hold onto it helps to think and do good
Yeah i do walk every day 20 to 20 minutes still nothing is happening with my baby. Seems like he doesn't wanna come into this world 😆 . Doctor suggest for c section but i denied. I wanna do normal birth and i am gonna wait until my baby is ready to come out hah.
Aww u can only do what u can yes ur right when their ready they will let u know lol
Angel! How are you? You’re at the end now, we’ll done! The head doesn’t always engage until labour sometimes in first time labour so don’t worry about that. You’ll be meeting your baby very soon xx
Hi dear! Yeah i am fine 😊thanks for asking. Well i also think like that but nurse told me that being first time mom head should be engaged by this time else it's risky for myself and baby, so i feel quite tense and worried dear. You know besides walking i do all household chores like cleaning, cooking, washing etc...by myself. I am active throughout the pregnancy still why my baby's head is not engaged? Lol 😴😕😥
Try not to worry I know it’s hard but when I had my first he was born at 42weeks to the day and his head only engaged during the birth. Don’t panic it will happen they will come when they are ready and not a moment before. Good luck
Good luck ladies xxxx
