It's getting very real now you're only a week away from being full termed. So anyway, I am Jana Pittman. I am a training obstitution and gynecologist, a mum of six beautiful babies, and I used to run for Australia.

Each episode, we will be holding your hands week by week through the mysterious, perplexing and sometimes tiring miracle that is pregnancy, all the way from a poppy seed to a pumpkin.

Week thirty six, we're very much on the pumpkin side now you are welcome to thirty six weeks.

But if we're not a pumpkin, what else are we a popcas? We are you're a podcast. You're officially a pupkin thisst but a small pumpkin.

Yes, a small smallish honey, ye pupkin.

So baby is around two point seven to three kilos now, so we really are very close to term.

So if you have a high risk.

So if you have a high risk.

Pregnancy, this is around the time that we actually do start seeing some women being induced. Now we're talking very high risk like preclamps here and growth restriction and things like that. So again it'll be a very obstetric lead decision, but definitely some women will be starting to have that conversation if you have a few of those risk factors around, when the timing of birth is most.

Appropriate for you and what have they developed most.

Things now, like there's not much leads just getting cuter, is getting cute, but like no steroids at this point, no lung support like little ones coming out if they're normally grown babies at two point seven to three kilos, we'll stay with mum. So thirty six weeks again, it's a huge milestone because think most babies do very very well at this point.

What's happening to me and what's happening to us.

What's happening to me and what's happening to us.

You might start feeling that drop in the in your pelvist. So look, it tends to happen sort of between thirty six and thirty eight weeks where you still feel that very much the baby's sitting underneath your ribs. But then all of a sudden you wake up and you're like, oh, I can breathe a bit better again. And that's because we're hoping that the baby's head is heading down into that pelvis, so increase problems passing your oine and things like that. But we're getting closer.

And that's because we're hoping that the baby's head is heading down into that pelvis, so increase problems passing your oine and things like that. But we're getting closer.

So it is a physical feeling rather than just the visual of like, oh, it looks like it's dropped, Like did you notice a change?

So it is a physical feeling rather than just the visual of like, oh, it looks like it's dropped, Like did you notice a change?

I felt like I noticed a change. But again it's a little bit of a wive's table. I mean, it is obviously that head is going to head down. You might notice that, for example, when you go for your mid with free appointment. Now they do that really horrible thing where they shove their hand down and try and feel the baby's head and see if it's engaged or not. So that basically means is the baby's head still coming in and out of the pelvis like it would have been two or three weeks ago, or is it nicely lodged down there, And that's the first start of labor. That's the first time where baby's getting in that right direction and that pressure will start happening on that service because that's how the cervix opens, is the baby's pressure of the head.

Is against it.

Is against it.

And then when the uterus contracts, obviously it then allows that cervix to open. But the first thing is having something ahead or a bum pushing heavily on that cervix.

That's fascinating, isn't it.

That's fascinating, isn't it.

I mean, partly it'll be the shape of the uterus.

I mean, partly it'll be the shape of the uterus.

I mean, babies do go obviously transverse and sideways and bleak in all these different positions. But if you think the longitudinal shape of your uterus, does you know, you'd hope sort of define the way they lie. But I've seen some cheeky babies in some very unusual positions.

Oh and that's what's terrifying if they go down there and then you rock up at a hospital and they've moved again, like you said a few episodes ago.

Oh and that's what's terrifying if they go down there and then you rock up at a hospital and they've moved again, like you said a few episodes ago.

And I think actually it's a really good point.

And I think actually it's a really good point.

There's a couple of really important things we do in this week, and the first one is if you go into labor now, it is actually a really good idea to ask them to do a quick ultrasound to check baby's head down. Now, most of the time the midwives are going to do it anyway, or the doctors, but you don't want to be caught out fully blown labor and find there's a foot there. So it is just nice to know that there's definitely ahead. Now. We can usually feel that through your tummy, but even the most senior midwives can sometimes get it wrong and it's a button, not a head, so just get them to chuck the ultrasound on. This is also the week that we do and it's a bit controversial, but we have done all the controversial topics in this podcast. Your GBS swab, so that is a bacteria that grows in the vagina. Normally it's very transient. It's about one in four women will have it, and you need to decide if you're happy to have it. So a lot of women say, yep, no problems. I'd prefer to know because we know that there's some significant problems for the baby at birth does not affect you at all. So if a woman's got GBS positive, she'll be just slight the twenty five percent of other women that do not concerning for mum at all. But if bubby could catch it, it can cause really significant problems with their lungs and also with their brains, so in terms of being very unwell post birth. So you can get late onset and at term GBS sepsis in a baby, so you know, look it's rare to get it, but if baby does get it, there's a very high mortality rate, which means that the ones can die from it. And so look that sounds very scary. And I know some people be listening to this, you know, saying, oh, you know, that's ridiculous. I don't want antibiotics in birth, because that's what it means. So what does it mean is if you're positive, it means if you wraps your membranes, we will recommend. We won't do it, we will recommend, and then it's your choice, but strongly recommend that you have an induction, so as soon as your waters are broken, versus if you break waters without having that GBS bug, you can have twenty four to forty eight hours to see if your body goes into labor naturally, So that's that intervention of if I do this swab and it's positive, I'm going to have an induction. And then the second thing is that we recommend antibiotics in labor because we know that we can protect the baby via the placenta to not get that infection. And then women worry about, well, is that going to change my bastmel because it's going to change the baby's biota and things like that, and look, yes, absolutely there are those real concerns. But I think if you've seen a baby get very sick from gbos sepsis, which unfortunately I have seen, it was pretty heartbreaking, you want to know that you've done and you put your best foot forward, and so it is a discussion to have with your midwife, and I look as an obstitution, I have to say I recommend it, but there are I've definitely had mums who come up with some really good reasons and they said they're happy to have the extended stay in hospital and watch their baby closely, and that they prefer that. And ultimately, remember it's your body, it's your baby, and you have to make the decision that's right for you.

But you know, why do they do it so far out then.

But you know, why do they do it so far out then.

Because unfortunately the taste takes quite a bit of time to come back and there's no way of testing, like no the PC go to labor. Yeah, there is some places that can do a quick test it's a PCR test, but it comes back you know, in four or five hours. It's extremely expensive. And you know, the New South Wales government when it comes to immunizations and swab tests and things like this, I guess do a nationwide thing where there's a budget that allows for the best number of women to be treated and the most number of babies to be safe. And I guess the recommendation at the point is to do it. But you are right because by forty weeks you may not be positive at all. In other words, you might be overtreating and worse. That lady for example, that we had, she did do the swab and it was negative for thirty six weeks and the baby got sick. So she did nothing wrong because she didn't know she had GBS in labor and so you know, there's a lot of arguments there are saying that is it a useless test? Then unfortunately we don't have anything better at the moment, and so I think it really comes down to like, for my case, I made the decision to do it, and I did the swab, I was I've been GBS positive once, so I had the antibiotics in labor for that, and then I just took probiotics after labor.

Is it an ivy antibiotic?

Is it an ivy antibiotic?

It is Benzl penicillin unless you have a penicillin allergy. And then I gave a little bit of probotics to the baby as well, which again is a bit controversial, but Kiara is a isolated from breast milk, so we basically put a time a little bit on my nipple or in their formula to try and help with their gut biota afterwards. So again it's a very personal decision and I think the really hard spot in that space is that some hospitals don't do it, but many do. So it's a conversation to have with you midwife and get her to do that. The stats are very real, Like you, A one percent of babies will get the infection if mum's positive, and at the mortality rate can be up to fifty percent in babies that catch it.

That get sick.

That get sick.

So there's all these like really long winded statistics, but you're probably better off getting a leaflet about it and then making it yourself when you can have an educated decision.

I want to ask about fetal movements, so we talk about them so often, but one thing that I've read is that the movements may change because they've gotten bigger and they're running out of space. Is that true? And how are we still looking for patterns to make sure in the safe zone.

It's really hard and you know, their babies do have less room because they're bigger now they're all curled up. But again we're looking frequency of movements. So if your baby moves all day and is sleepy at night, that's their normal pattern. And if that changes and all of a sudden they're really quiet during the day, you come on into the hospital. I think we need to look at how often it happens as well. So things that we are looking for is that has there been some abruption, has there been some decrease in placental function, has babies growth reduced? So there's there's reasons as to why a baby stops moving. Because I get I liken it too. You know, if you go for a hard run and you run out of food and no one gives you a protein shake or and energy drink. After you've gone for an exercise, you want to lie on the couch and do nothing. And so, yeah, babies stop moving because they're running out of supply, and that can be that they're having chronic hypoxia, which basically means they've got something wrong. Like you know, we get your recist negative mums that don't have anti D for example, that might have a baby that's developing a chronic anemia, and they obviously stop moving as much.

And we do a.

And we do a.

Test called a KLIHOW which is special test to actually see whether there's a reaction between the baby and the mother, and if that's positive, we know that there's a reason to birth baby. So there's we want you to come in case there's something terrible like that. Nineteen nine percent of the time, Grace, by the time you baby come you come into the hospital, it's doing cartwheels in your belly and you feel embarrassed. It's totally fine, and I really want to reassure you it's one hundred percent the right thing. Because we have had many, many mummies save their babies lives by coming in because of concerns.

And this is something that you've spoken about before, is that you have been called to an er so many times and you don't care.

And this is something that you've spoken about before, is that you have been called to an er so many times and you don't care.

No, it's a twenty four to seven service and in fact, most of the time you're sitting there going I've got nothing to do.

No, it's a twenty four to seven service and in fact, most of the time you're sitting there going I've got nothing to do.

Oh yeah, yes, I want to come around and say hello too, sometimes anxious, I'm ready.

Oh yeah, yes, I want to come around and say hello too, sometimes anxious, I'm ready.

You needed to come.

You needed to come.

And we also have a lot of junior doctors in the hospital and they often get to come and learn from those experiences because it is and look, I've mean this in a negative way, but it is a bit of the cry wolf, but if you're not careful, you'll miss the real wolf, like as in you need to be really good in that space of saying taking every single woman who comes in seriously with mother's intuitions enormous and even if you have a normal categ and a normal ultrasound and everything's normal, if it changes again, I want you to come back like it doesn't. It's there were all screening tools, they're not diagnostic, So if you're concerned, you come back. And I still vividly remember this incredible woman who unfortunately did have a still birth, and then she came back pregnant, and she came in and I met her. The's only six months ago and she's only thirty five weeks pregnant. She's like, there's something wrong. And the CTG was normal and the ultrasound was normal and everything was normal. She's like, there's something wrong, but we couldn't find it. We just couldn't find it, and so we admitted her and watched and it was just like a bit of a gut instinctive and obviously a bit of ten to eleven care because she'd had a terrible outcome before. In the middle of the night, she's like, something's really wrong. We popped the CTG on and the heart rate had dropped right down to sixty and we did a beautiful birth and she has a baby to go home with. But had she not stuck to her guns and pushed and pushed back on us to say something is wrong, she may have had an even worse outcome than she'd been through previously. Can't imagine two things happening to the same person, but it sometimes does. So listen to your heart. It's completely fine, and we much prefer to see you then come in with a terrible outcome.

It is thirty six weeks late. Late, too late, yes, too late.

Probably not going to need it.

Let's be really honest, you're probably not going to need it. Well, worst case scenario, have a little day bag which is a pair of undies, and your charge it.

For your phone.

For your phone.

Okay, because sitting around in birth units is so boring and it's very long when your phone always goes dead. And so I guess every time you go to your antenatal clinic is an opportunity where something might say, sorry to race, you have to come into hospital overnight.

It don't mean it's gonna happ you have your baby that night, but it does mean we might need to monitor you if there's something we're concerned about. So, if it's in the back of the car, are you telling me you haven't got your bag right now?

State, just putting it out there because I had a lovely lady this week who flew from Brisbane down here and then went into early labor, and it's a long way from home. So I think somewhere within thirty to forty minutes from home is about the best option, just so you can have that safety of your medical team that's been looking after you the whole time and the comforts of home.

Well, we're doing a staycation, but not only is it within forty minutes or what it's like within ten minutes, Oh, that's booked a hotel in the city, And that does remind me. I spoke to my husband today. I was like, I'm going to ask you on to this question. Can I have a bath now? Because this hotel room has a bath.
