Just entered 37 weeks and getting a bit excited and nervous together. baby feels so low now and i keep wondering if labour can start anytime. what all should i expect this week? ftm here so all info welcome.
Haan at 37 weeks it gets real na, you feel baby pushing down and sleep becomes mushkil. Mere saath bhi bahut pressure tha and frequent washroom trips. Bag ready rakho and agar pani leak ho ya pain regular ho to seedha hospital, doc ko bolo.
My gynac told me at 37 weeks the baby is considered early term and lungs are nearly mature. Expect more pelvic pressure, possible mucus plug, and Braxton Hicks. She told me to watch closely for regular contractions, water breaking or less fetal movement and to come in immediately if any of those happen.
At 37 weeks I felt heavy and my baby had dropped lower, so there was more pressure down there and frequent peeing. I also got those Braxton Hicks tightenings on and off. It's basically your body getting ready, just keep your hospital bag packed, mine came right at 37 plus 5.
Around 37 weeks my doctor did extra scans and checkups to monitor everything. I ended up with a planned C-section a bit later and it all went fine. Just keep all your reports and bag ready, and watch for any reduced movements or leaking, tell your doctor right away if so.
Girl, I'm at 37 weeks right now and I waddle like a penguin and can't sleep to save my life. Everything aches and I pee every 20 minutes, it's a whole vibe. But honestly knowing baby is almost full term makes it all worth the drama.
By 37 weeks I had already confirmed the hospital package, kept the cash and documents handy and finished my last tests. Checkups get more frequent now so plan for that. Having everything sorted early really reduced our last minute stress and spending.
