Exactly 39 weeks pregnant
No labor pains at the moment
Weekly check-up schedule... My OB performed an internal exam and confirmed that my cervix has not dilated. Also, she said that my pelvic area has not opened. Based on the ultrasound, my baby's placenta is already mature and though my baby is positioned head first it has not fully descended... She recommended I undergo cesarean operation immediately. I was then scheduled for a CS operation the next day at 7am. My husband and I were sadden since we were hoping that I would give birth normally. But then risks were greater if we opted for a trial labor... I felt no labor pains at all, only tightening of my tummy which according to my OB were already contractions. She explained that the baby is facing my front or face up. The proper position should be head down or the baby should be facing my spine. My OB instructed that I be admitted that night around 8pm. She added that I should not take in any food and drinks after 12 midnight in preparation for the surgery.
