The days is coming #36Weeks

Assalammualaikum,
My due date is getting closer.
Hari ni sudah msuk 36weeks/9months. 4 weeks until my due date.

Counting the days..tik tok tik tok..
Sgt excited nak lahirkan baby dalam tummy ni..
Makin nak dekat ni makin berdebar2 menunggu kelahirannya..
Expected due date is on 22nd Dec 2012 but can be early maybe..hehe

Tadi dapat news, isteri sepupu hubby telah selamat melahirkan baby girl..ouchhh so cute n jeles..
buat aku rasa xsabar dan sangat xsabar utk melalui hari kelahiran tu..hehe(skema pulak ayat makcik)

Braxton-Hicks or false contraction, smlm aku rasa tiba2 perut mngeras and sakit pinggang bkn main lg. Dah la malam2, hubby pulak xde..aduyai..nangis je la..pastu sapu minyak panas kat pinggang, and kaki baru kurang sikit..
Tadi dok la google2 pasal tanda2 nak bersalin and jumpa la sikit maklumat pasal Braxton-Hicks ni.. So far yg aku baca and sakit mcm yg aku rasa semalam tu lebih kpd Braxton-Hicks/ false contraction and it's normal bila dah masuk fasa2 hujung2 ni kata nya..Ni sikit info pasal Braxton-Hicks

What can I do if my Braxton Hicks contractions are making me uncomfortable?

If you're within a few weeks of your due date, try these measures:

- Change your activity or position. Sometimes walking provides relief. At other times, resting eases contractions. (True labor contractions, on the other hand, will persist and progress regardless of what you do.)- Take a warm bath to help your body relax.

- Try drinking a couple of glasses of water, since these contractions can sometimes be brought on by dehydration.

- Try relaxation exercises or slow, deep breathing. This won't stop the Braxton Hicks contractions, but it may help you cope with the discomfort. (Use this opportunity to practice some of the pain-management strategies you've learned in your childbirth preparation class.)

When should I call my doctor or midwife?

- Call your caregiver right away if you haven't reached 37 weeks and your contractions are becoming more frequent, rhythmic, or painful, or if you have any of these possible signs of preterm labor:

- Abdominal pain, menstrual-like cramping, or more than four contractions in one hour (even if they don't hurt)

- Any vaginal bleeding or spotting

- An increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge — if it becomes watery, mucusy, or bloody (even if it's only pink or blood-tinged)

- More pressure in the pelvic area (a feeling that your baby's pushing down)

- Low back pain, especially if it's dull or rhythmic, or you didn't previously have back pain

- If you're past 37 weeks, there's no need to call your doctor or midwife just for contractions until they last about 60 seconds each and are five minutes apart and continue like this for an hour — unless your caregiver has advised you otherwise.

See my 36weeks baby bump..besar kan! ehehehe sure baby sihat in there :)
