I am currently 39 weeks and 4 days... and Im due on Christmas Day (Which is Monday of Next Week)!! I have been given tips from my obgyn to that are supposed to help me go into labor naturally. At my 39 week appointment on Tuesday my doctor wanted me to have a membrane sweep and I politely declined. I am only 1.5 -2cm dilated and 50 % effaced.... I has been the same since 37and 38 weeks. This is my second pregnancy! I am going for a VBACK. My doctor has a successful rate for VBACKS! which is great news! I have 3 more days left until baby Girl arrives 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞💞💞
Congratulations! Good luck and have a safe delivery!
Update: I had my baby at 40 weeks and 1 day🥰🥰🥰 she was born on December 26 2023 @ 4:50 pm !!! She was 9lbs 😍🥰🥰🥰 I wasn’t able to have a vaginal birth … doctor was concerned and stated “I could have a uterine tear” so I choose to have a c-section. However I laboured for 24 hrs before getting my c-section. The pain aka contractions I tell you was horrible but it was all worth it in the end because my baby girl is healthy and strong💕💕💕🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m 5 weeks postpartum and my little one will be 2 months old on February 26,2024.
@@niccenikki4898 Congratulations of the birth of your daughter!!! I am so happy she had a healthy birth and I am glad you are recovering! Sorry to hear you couldn't get you C Section earlier but I am glad everyone was healthy.
Wow, someone with real credentials on youtube and not a 'life coach'! Will try a thing or two but since the inducing appointment is tomorrow there probably isn't much we can do anymore. We are just hoping to not end up with a c-section.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Hi mentor, hope you’re doing ok, currently I’m 18 weeks pregnant. My obgyn gave me ondansetron odt 4mg tablets for nausea and vomiting. They told me to take 4 times a day but I’m taking only 1 everyday. Is it ok for the baby ? I heard It will effect the baby 😨
Thanks for asking. So , Ondansetron is a controversial medicine. Anecdotally, there are stories that it increases the risk of birth defects in babies. However, studies have not shown this to be the case. Nausea and vomiting are a tricky thing. I personally had hyperemesis gravidarum and required the use of Ondansetron. However, this was before I was a nurse and I wasn't aware of other options. I would definitely try to utilize natural remedies like ginger and Vitamin B6. Additionally, you and your healthcare provider need to gauge how bad the nausea and vomiting are. If you are requiring IV fluids or hospitalization, you should be taking the medication. If it is bothersome and making you feel miserable but overall your baby is ok, see how much you can tolerate. It really is a balance.
Here is a link to the video I did on hyperemesis gravidarum: czcams.com/video/nG61976DQvQ/video.html
Check it out and feel better!
I have taken Ondansetron with both my pregnancies due to HG and both have been perfectly healthy. There was 1 study suggesting it cause a heart defect, but it was within the normal range for defects (what naturally occurs). Did Ondansetron cause the defects? Or was it already naturally to happen?
When seen in practice the vast majority of women who have taken Ondansetron have healthy babies.
I asked 4 different doctors in all there years of prescribing Ondansetron to pregnant women did they babies have defects? They all said no.
Hi I’m 37 weeks almost 38 and I’m having on and off contractions and back pain.and hip pain as well
Sounds like you are close to the end! Good luck! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Good video. Most raspberry leaf tea doesn’t do anything but it does help your uterus, however, what was the point of mentioning the black cohosh? If it’s so risky and it’s not recommended and don’t mention it there may be people here that don’t pay attention and then they take it
Thanks for sharing. It's important to present information commonly seen by the public.
Agreed. Why what they be watching informative video if they're not paying attention?
Just finished eating my sixth date with peanut butter when you started talking about dates! I was going to have some leftover fruit crisp then realized I haven’t eaten a single date today, so opted for those. Lol.
My doc is wanting me to have a c section due to a prior shoulder dystocia. They said if she’s 7lbs I can deliver her vaginally. The problem is I’m only 33 weeks and she’s already almost 6 pounds. I asked to be induced around 37-38 weeks if she is 7 pounds so I can push her. They said they can’t do that. So I’m wanting to induce myself so I can push her out. But not until I’m at least 37 weeks.
I appreciate your concerns. Coming from experience, every previous shoulder dystocia that tried to deliver naturally a second time was a disaster. Delivering at 37 weeks is premature. The baby's brain hasn't finished developing and this can lead to breathing and sugar issues. Please research this carefully. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Good luck on your pregnancy and birth
Did you end up having a c-section? I am happy that it is common in the Netherlands to not have a c-section this quick. I had shoulder dystocia with my second, but they only advised me to be induced at 38 weeks. I plan to be induced at max 40 weeks, so I always have a say in this. They don't like to advise c-sections in this case, as they don't know the exact reason it happened. They only strongly advise you to not birth at home, but in the hospital (in the Netherlands we often birth at home, around 25% of all births).
It’s crazy reading all these comments cause my friends doctor induced her at 36 weeks due to bby being so small.. doesn’t make sense I don’t know full story but her bby was 5 lbs and he’s doing great now he’s a big chunky baby and he’s been healthy since he came out. I do believe they can induce you they just don’t be trying to they always want it their way which is stressful bcs we all know how tuff a c section sounds so I feel u. I’m suffering from spd have lots of pelvic pains and can’t walk as much so if they can’t induce me I’m definitely going to try all these bcs my births have all passed 40 weeks and I’m 35 weeks now and can barley get up to do basic things which makes me feel bad bcs I have a toddler and a dog and I should be able to get up without all these pains and hip joint that pop everytime I walk. If my doctor doesn’t help me I’m done officially going to the app cause they do not understand how overwhelming this is all for us to talk and they literally don’t help at all or little to no help most of the times.
I am 36 weeks pregnant but I am starting to have a lot of pain in my hips and pelvis. I had a hip arthroscopy w/ a reconstructed labrum in July 2021. Im 4'11" and feel miserable from the weight too. Could this be a reason for early induction?
Thanks for asking! Usually not. Unless your life is threatened, they will avoid early induction because your baby's brain continues to develop until 39 weeks. A lot of that development is related to glucose to metabolism, suck/swallow coordination, and breathing. Without that development, your baby is at risk for problems at birth that could result in ICU admission. Feel better!
Can someone induse in 38 weeks
I'm being induced at 37 weeks and my providers said go for it ill be 36weeks next Tuesday so they want me to wait until 36 and about 4 days 🙃 I used my pump yesterday bc it just arrived n I wanted to make sure it worked I am an over producer so that oxytocin went into overdrive 😅
Well that's a great sign for making milk! :)🙂
I’m 40 weeks 6 days today but all my due date were 13th ,14th , 16th , 18th and 21st but have no symptoms of labor, why please
Thanks for asking! I am not sure why you haven't gone into labor yet. It is important to listen to your healthcare provider regarding your plan of care. After 41 weeks, risks to you and your baby start to increase. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
@@TheMaternityMentor I’m now seeing some signs, sometimes my belly comes up and becomes hard and sometimes soft and a little back pain
Castor oil is NOT reccomeded by physicians
My doctor has given me tips on what I can do to try to induce at home and I'm 37 weeks. She said I can even have a membrane sweep at 38 weeks because this is my fourth pregnancy and I'm in a lot of pain everyday.
I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts. You are almost there!
I’m 37 weeks 1 day pregnant with my fourth baby too! What did you do to induce labor ?
Is the ultrasound due date correct??? Mine say 10 of april .so i really want to know

Yes, I asked my ultrasound tech and they told me that those due dates are even more accurate then relying on the last date of your period. So yes, very accurate.
@@meghan95that’s so funny bcs I’m on my third child and they always asked me how long I was, they all go based on the last day of your period so even if u are off by a couple days they still keep the date that is on the calendar tracker from your last period. All mine have been wrong by 4 days and now I’m on my third hoping I have baby on the due date or earlier bcs this is not it 😭😂
Im at 38 week right lateral wall placenta grade 3 maturity. Is it good for normal delivery
Thanks for asking! Grade 3 placentas usually require a cesarean section delivery due to the high risk they will stop working or detach early during natural labor which is deadly for both you and baby. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
@@TheMaternityMentor dr said everything is normal and given date 7 aug also told me to come if i have labour pain. Or i have to admit in that given date
@@im_tiny_me That's awesome! Good luck!
I've done this and I'm 3cm dialted now since last Thursday 60 percent effaced.

Exactly which methods did you use ?
Hi!! I’ll be 38 weeks in a few days. I have very frequent period like cramps and pelvic tightening and pressure with a constant dull back ache. Ive also noticed an increase in thick leukorrhea. Are these signs that labor may be in the next few weeks. Ive delt with these symptoms for a couple weeks now. 😇
Thanks for asking! Yes - these all sound like early signs of labor. You should contact your healthcare provider and let them know what is going on because they may want to assess you. Good luck!
Same here🥹
Did all of these (except for nr 4) and nothing happened. I am 39 weeks and 6 days and I am desperate because the doc wants to give me a c-section tomorrow!!! It is totally unnecessary and he just wants to do it because in my country if the first child is c-section baby then some doctors don't want to go the natural route. All my test are perfect and there is no need for c-section, and I don't know what to do... help please
I'm sorry to hear this is happening. It sounds very scary. Unfortunately, your stuck in a situation many women all over the world are in, including in the U.S. I have seen women not show up for their C/S only to end up with complications with their baby. I would ask your healthcare provider if he is willing to hold off your C/S for 3 more days. After that, if he will not let you deliver naturally, you need to have the C/S because the baby should come sooner than later. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
You know you are allowed to decline such things, right..?:D
@@TheMaternityMentor thank you for answering so soon. I pray to either my water breaking tonight, or God give me strength to accept the situation, and not feel distant to my son when he comes.
@@lidiacandrianu how are you feeling now? May I ask if you had a c section?
@@marziamohseni9333 yeas. I did have a csection. Health wise I am feeling excellent and the baby is doing great... I still feel cheated because I wasn't allowed to experience a natural birth
Hlo... my edd is Jan 12 I have backache and stomach tightening ad little pain and in private area also pain ad white discharge little.. doctor said baby is head down and 1 cm dilated how to dilate from 1 cm ...how to activate labour pain
Thanks for asking! It's important not to activate labor until you are 39 weeks. Until then your baby is considered premature and can have complications at birth including issues with breathing and blood sugar. Hang tight. The baby will be here soon enough.
My Edd is also 12 Jan,n am also having stomach tightening with discharge but no severe pain, am tired already
@@erdooshenge3235 omg same! Edd 12 jan and am having the same symptoms.
I'm blessed with baby boy Jan 1st normal delivery
Wow me exactly! On all her symptoms and lack there of and not quite 2cm yet. Due date WAS. 1/11.... so I just had a membrane sweep now home to see what progresses and we will check back in 48 hours!! Im watching videos and stretching all day 😇 keep me in prayers
Thanks
You're very welcome.
Helow maam anung gagawin ku due date napo aku sa ultrasound ku now..39weeks napoh ako
I'm sorry. Could you please repeat the question? Some came over in English and some came over in another language. Thank you!
Im a healthy surrogate- 38 weeks today. No diabetes- no issues. Doc wants to induce me at 39 weeks. I use to love the stair master😂 let me get on that. But i need my hair done first and refill my lashes😂
Good luck and have a safe delivery!
Hi im completing 37 week today and noticing normal white discharge 2/3 time a day from 2 days does it indiacate my delivery is coming or not
Thanks for asking! It's hard to say but that sound like your mucous plug coming out in pieces. You should contact your healthcare provider so they can assess you. Good luck!
@@TheMaternityMentor 38 week pregnant and suffering from constipation last 2 weeks plz suggest some strong medicine
Does constipation delay my delivery plz answer
1:38 the tips list starts
Thanks
I am 39 weeks today with my first and sex is very painful for me. I haven’t had sex in awhile and then I tried to use it as way to induce and sex was just so painfuk
I am so sorry to hear this. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
It’s perfect safe to induce labor once you are full term which is at 37 weeks
Thanks for sharing but it is not perfectly safe to induce at 37 weeks. Inductions at this time should happen for medical reasons only.
@@thehessonfamily they are seeing a lot more induced babies at 37 in nicu… when baby comes itself it’s good… but induced has been increasing much stays
