Hi All,
How are you all doing? Now a days I am getting scared of the labour and birth!!! The moment I think about labour, i get tense and start swetting and feel suffocated... Can anyone please tell me how to control this?
Now that we will soon start the last month of our pregnancy, what should we expect?
I mean, is there anyway to know if the baby might arrive before 37th week?
I am really really scared... please reply.... semo replied. Hi Anjali,
Don't worry. If this is ur first preg, and you gained normal weight during ur preg (25 -35lbs), chance of going into labour before 37th week is 1%. ANyway, by 32 -36 weeks, ur baby's lungs will be matured enough to breath air. Do moderate exercises like walking, and you will be OK.
You will be getting more and more uterine (false)contractions towards your due date, and this way you'll know that you are going to go into labour in another week or so. If you feel anything unusual, go to labour and delivery immediately and they will take care very well.
TO console you - I've a friend who was first time preg, and her parents came to help her 6weeks before the due date. She send her parents for a nice trip for 4days, and while the parents are away, she went into labour 5 weeks before her due date. She had a very healthy baby and they're fine now. When her parents came from the trip, she had this pleasant surprise for them. So don't worry too much.

take care,
semo
