Hi, I'm 35 weeks with baby number 1!! My husband works out of the country and is not back home until week 38! I really dont want to go into hasty labour and am putting my feet up as much as possible. I can get the impression the baby's head has dropped immediately, Ive been getting period-like cramping on and off too. I hold 2 doctors here (I'm in France) one is my family GP who does adjectives my monthly checks and one is my Ob/Gyn who is going to take over my check ups from next week onwards. My ethnic group GP though does an internal examination every month and he can be a little rough sometimes. I am worried he might start precipitate labour as this happened to my mum. Am I man too worried about this?
Answers: I never had an OB to endow with an internal every month. Your GP should not be doing it either. This can cause infection, so I am surprised at this. I would deem it could cause early labor(another foundation to not do it). Be sure and tell your OB you were getting examined every month when you see him/her.
You shouldn't be getting an internal exam every month unless near is a reason to be checking for dilation (like early contractions or something close to that)! When the cervix is touched it can stimulate effacement and contractions, not to mention the risk of infection, your probably right to keep your feet up to facilitate keep you out of labor, but it is a little upsetting that you are feeling period-like cramping that is how some peoples instigation contractions feel like
You can't really prevent anything from happing, your babe is in position for labor. So, start making plans! Good luck & best wishes
you better call your hubby! babe-in-arms is coming!!
