Hi mspiggy,
Me also dilated liao.... but only 1cm at week 37. Like you, my 1st pregnancy also started dilating early, at week 36. Nothing happened until contractions started at week 39.
We just rest well la. My friend told me slight dilation is good news cos it means that we don't need to be induced...hee.

Hi mummies,
my birth story:
I was having some contraction on 7 Sep sunday nite so i went to see dr Adrain on Monday. He say i have dilated so ask me to be admitted into hospital at 11 pm. at abt 12.30. he broke my waterbag which is very painful and start the drip to induce me. At 1st the contraction was bearable but until 3.00am i ask for laughing. it did help for 2 hours. Finally at 5am, i can't stand the pain and ask for an injection at the butt. Finally the Dr Adrain came at 7.30am and check my dilation and told me i dilated only 5cm and my pelvis bone nv open so i have to go for c-section.
so at abt 8.30 Ashton was out. so dr Adrain say my bones too small. Poor Ashton bump his head against my bones. So if i will to have another one is confirm c-section.

<font color="ff6000">jjmom,
epidural depends on how many doses. some ppl need 1 dose then they dilate enough. some ppl run out of 1 dose and still haven't dilated sufficiently, so gotta add another dose. different hospitals charge different amounts per dose, some $300+, some $400+. I heard of someone who needed 3 doses and ended up paying $1200 just for epidural!!
on CL ang pow, basically this CL is recommended by my friend who gave her 100 before and 100 after lor... and friend is going to use this CL again this Dec and this is what she's giving, so that's what she told me. din know market rate so much less! but my friend LOVES this CL to bits lor, so perhaps she feels this CL deserves every cent.
Is your CL from agency? I heard some agencies are charging $1900-$2000 flat to begin with these days... my CL is charging $1800 for her fees...
mousebb and xinying,
I'm in the same boat as yr hubbies lor... lagi jialat right?

Enya,
Thank for the info. I always thought the drip is a 100% thing. Your baby must really feel comfy in your tummy so don't want to come out yet.
Guess you must be really happy to see your little one after such a long wait.
Gioanna Burdon,
Yeah my SIL also told me his stitching work is very good. I have very low pain tolerance, I think I have the pain for close to 1 week. Wow, since you are 18 years so he must have know you very well. Another person I like in the clinic is Sister Yip. Too bad, she retire already. My appointment is this Saturday (20 Sep). I always go see him on Saturday coz' like that don't need to take leave.
MsPiggy,
You really must rest well. Hope your bb will wait for daddy to come back first. Good thing your mum is stay next block only.

Dimpletot,
Y lei? what happen to u huh? not feeling well?
wah...epi can b ex hor?! 3 doses at $1200 =P but if really need also no choice loh.
My CL is not from any agent, she was recommended by my friend who juz did her confinement. Hopefully she is gd then I don't mind giving her a bigger hongbao at the end
But again, the mkt rate for hongbao is only abt $8 to $12.

Although, TMC provide bb top, mitten and wrap. I will still bring a "pass-down" clothings for my bb...

Even after we have delivered, our tummy will not go off immediately. According to Mrs Wong, we will still look like 6-7 months pregnant. So for discharged from hospital, better bring some clothes which can fit you. I dont think we can so fast fit into those pre-pregnancy clothes unless you are talking about those loose fitting types.</font>

Thanks Mummies for all ur encouragements and wishes. Actually i'm rather skaptical abt inducing birth coz i dunno if i can stand the long hours lying there and wait... and wait... and wait... doc say its gg to last for abt 18 hrs and he is gg to use both method- insert the pill and on drip. Cross my finger that cervix will dilate if not, c section. I scare of knife... woo..

My hubby's face change when he heard doc say to admit tmr 2359Hr, to me, he seems unprepared and he actually needs to work, he had made appointments to meet his clients and he seems to be very lost abt the last min news. But he looks cute when he looks blur. hahahaha!!!

<font color="0000ff">The ammendments to the Children's Development Act went for first reading in Parliament yesterday. Here's a summary of the ammendments to the legislation that affect us:
1. Date for new legislation to come into effect is 31 Oct 2008. It is stated that the benefits are compulsory for those who delivered on or after 31 Oct & those whose EDD is on or after 31 Oct but delivered early.
[i.e. all of us are safe even if we pop before 31 Oct]
2. Government will pay their share for employers who gave the benefits to those who delivered in the period 17 Aug - 30 Oct but EDD is not on or after 31 Oct & those whose EDD is between 17 Aug-30 Oct.
3. Childcare leave will be included in the act after the ammendments. No longer just under employment act. But this year is pro-rate to total of 3 days. Note that the total no of childcare leave per eligible child cannot exceed 42 days (i.e. 7 x 6 days).
[i.e. employers cannot say that the employee is not covered under employment act & dun give the childcare leave liao.]
