Hi Redrose
We go to the same gynae. Me too, having same problem as u. Although my EDD is last day of jan, but my bb already 3kg at 35wks! Seems that my bb's weight growth is exponential leh
I am very very depressed, b'coz I am also hoping so much for natural this time. My #1 also c-sec after failure to dilate from 20hrs of induction.
Tmr is my checkup again, very xianz.

QQ, are you monitoriing frequency now? Is it more and more frequent. Any show or water bag leak? If not, maybe false alarm like last time? 
joyce
before preg, the size of womb is only abt a pear, and the location is at lower abs. So when u had menses cramps, it's only at that part.
Now with a baby inside, the womb has expanded to reach as high as your belly button, or even higher. So contractions (which feel like menses cramps) will be felt the whole area, not just near your privates.
icy
it's actually not the sperms. It's the semen that contains some hormone thing which may trigger labour. Plus husband's brother which is bumping against the cervix, also helps to trigger.
Here's what i found:
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/isitsafeto/makeloveexpert/
in the last few weeks of pregnancy, love-making releases the hormone oxytocin into your bloodstream. Oxytocin helps your cervix to get ready for labour, and in very late pregnancy can trigger off contractions. Semen as well, which is rich in the natural prostaglandins that help the uterus to contract, could also help to start labour. This is perfectly safe if your pregnancy is progressing normally but your doctor may advise you to avoid making love in the last trimester of pregnancy, if you have a history of premature labour.
Why no one think of ML?! After bb born it'll be worse, so do whatever u can now!!

WendyG, do you put your legs up to sleep at night? I tried doing it for about a week when I first had water retention. End up legs are just a bit swoleen but my fingers are swollen and joints are painful when I flex my fingers cos I can't put my hands up when I sleep. Gynae asked me not to take too much salt to help with water retention.
kitsune
i nvr had probs with water retention until now, wk 40. i drink abt 3l plain water a day. i love hot water.
maybe last night my dinner too salty. but then i drank a lot of water after that too.
nvrmind bb coming out soon. i can be ugly for a week. With my #1, i was bloated since 2nd trimester i think.

That's good, at least your water retention problem started late.
Exactly 36 weeks today, I still got 4 weeks to endure if BB really come out on EDD. It will probably get worse cos i love salty food. Hubby don't want to let me eat french fries liao. :/

How big is your boy? Share details leh so Mei can update. Share your birth story and BB photo too.

kitsune, I also like to eat french fries. Been having craving for pizzas and fast food through the pregnancy. Kekeke. But like wendyg I also like to drink hot water, maybe that helps the water retention a fair bit, coz I drank a lot of hot water during the first 2 trimester, only now then I start to drink a bit of cold drinks, or rather a lot of cold drinks and coffee. Cannot tahan the temptation already. I get water retention, but they are at my toes, can be very painful.
But I realised now that I am expecting, I am very sensitive if the food is very salty. Strangely, I dont find fries as salty as some of the food we eat outside. The other day, I ate dinner with my hubbie, half way through I felt like I was floating. He was telling me, some pple feel like that if the food has a lot of MSG.
4 more weeks to go for me too. So sian. Feel like going out, past few months when stomach not so heavy, I still dare to go out shop shop walk walk alone, now none of my friends wanna go with me and then my mum also say better not. Feel like a prisoner at home.

Mom2nat, my hubby say the same thing le, later poke bb's head. kekeke. I also very sian, been rotting at home this whole week already. Count down also no mood. Think I will jalan jalan in town later, else I think I will go mad.
During confinement, I highly doubt I will be able to tahan staying at home, but because bb will need a lot of attention, so even if wanna go out also cannot "fang xin".
