If you can, and if your doctor permits, do some safe-for-pregnancy exercises. Walking is low impact and can do wonders. I credit it to my speedy labor:

I endured about 30 hours of pre labor pains which really hurt but was manageable and I was in active labor for only 11 minutes. I started pushing at 4pm and my son was born at 4:11pm. Considering this is my first child, even I was amazed at how fast it all went.

Dong a lot of Kegels during pregnancy and after giving birth also helped big time.

[kittykittylala]

I recently had my pre natal check up... I mentioned sa OB ko about sa contraction too early pa daw and sobrang liit pa daw tyan ko for contraction. Ayun binigyan na ako ng pampakapit, if not effective belly support na daw ako. haaaay!! Nagworry tuloy si mother in law

Now, im doing kegel exercise medyo di pa ako sanay. ahihihi (shy) nakikiliti ako ahihihi!

[sweetwahm]

hehe, the good thing about kegels is you can do it anytime, anywhere, without anyone ever knowing. Just keep doing them, masasanay ka rin.

malamang di nga pwede sa yo ang exercise kahit light pa, so i guess you should take it easy, kittykittylala

[camgray]

Hi Kitty.. that's good u told your OB.. so you'll have to take it easy then..

Oo, i heard kegels does great wonders in preparing for birth.. Pero i always forget to do it.. thanks for reminding me.. )

Feels so good no? Is this your first baby? Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.. Sobrang bilis lang nyan.. Parang kelan lang when we found out (surprise!!! unplanned kasi, hehe)..

[dalee]

ask ko lang kung ano yung bloody show, dun ba malalaman kung malapit ka na maglabor? ano yun, parang mentruation or spotting? ano yung naramdaman nyo before having contraction na sunod sunod talaga na every 5 minutes apart?

[camgray]

Dalee: Yung bloody show is like secretion na medyo madami. For me, it looked like sipon na may halong blood (brownish/reddish color), not bright red as in fresh.. At that time, may konting cramping lang ako nafeel.. The painful contractions came about 2 hours after the bloody show. But that was during my first baby.. Nag labor ako for 21 hours! Women differ so it may be different for you. Best thing to do when your mucus plug (bloody show) comes off, call your OB agad. She will tell u what to do. How far along are you anyway?

[purpleheadd07]

dalee: wa ako bloody show, or baka nung nsa delivery room na ko d ko kse tinitingnan. yung contractions parang tumitigas yung tyan mo, dpat i time mo yan. pag about every 5 mins sya, yes medyo rhythmic sya, that means malapit ng lumabas.

[dalee]

thanks camgray ang purplehead. 36 weeks na ko mahigit, di ba pag37 full term na, naglalakad na ko pero parang di pa din mababa yung tyan ko.

[purpleheadd07]

i believe it's 40. was on my 38 when i gave birth, d pa gaanong mbaba tummy ko that time. hang on, lalabas yan in due time.

[DaNa8]

I think 38-40 weeks is full term. Before that is pre-term and after that is overdue. You may give birth any time between that period.

[Ellheym]

yes first baby ko.. kaya sobrang excited kami ni hubby.

wow.. *** din pala ha.. ingat ka din palagi..

[camgray]

Dalee: PAreho tayo, i'm on my 36th week rin.. I went for my checkup kanina. My Ob said baby is head down and nakasiksik na, ready to be out soon! She even gave me admission orders na, just in case baby decides to come early! Let's hang in there! san ka manganganak?

Ellheym: not my first baby.. 3rd na!

I've read that 38-40wks are considered full-term. But if you deliver around the 37th week, it's already considered full-term. My 2nd baby came at 37w/5d, considered full term na. She was healthy but small at only 1.9kg (a little over 4lbs!)..

[dalee]

camgray, 4lbs mahigit? e di mabilis lang yung labor/delivery mo? sabi kasi mahirap daw pagmalaki si baby, last check-up ko estimate na ni OB nasa 6lbs na daw mahigit kaya kontian ko daw ang kain hehehehe di pa ko nakakapagdecide kung saang hospital, st clare saka sa medical center manila yung OB ko, meron din syang lying-in clinic. tapos gusto ko din magpapelvic xray, ang dami ko kasi kilala na naCS tapos ang sabi maliit daw yung pelvic bone pero parang di routine yun kay OB... natatakot ako na maglabor ng matagal tapos sasabihin lang di kasya si baby sa pelvic bone. ask din ako ni hubby kung kelan sya dapat umuwi(work sya abroad), di ko naman matantya... hay! grabeh...sorry haba na ng post ko.

[Ellheym]

camgray: 4 lbs.. ang liit.. siguro hindi ka nahirapan nong nanganak ka.

o nga pala paano pala malalaman kung maliit ang pelvic bone? kasi yon din sabi ng ob ko na may posibilidad daw maCS kung pagdating na ng labor time hindi daw bubuka o kaya yong pelvic bone makitid. paano ba yon malaman? pwede ba yon malaman kung tingnan lang physically yong buntis?

[camgray]

Hi dalee and Ellheym: Yup, di ako nahirapan sa labor--2 hours lang from the time nag break bag of waters ko sa house til lumabas si baby sa DR ng hosp!! She was small kasi may pre-ecplamsia ako. Good thing di ako na CS, ksi mabilis ang labor ko. Otherwise,siguradong CS na coz of pre-ec. Kakaawa nga when i saw my bby, sooo tiny and skinny. Pero she was healthy, & bilis nya lumaki..BUmawi!
Pwede nga kayo request for pelvimetry (xray of pelvis) sa OB nyo.. May friend ko, laki ng hips nya, pero di nya pala kayang mag normal, which they only found out sa xray. so yun, cs sya..
