Emmie, Cyn, momotan,
so so sorry for your MIL situation. so true that you can never pick your MIL. yeah it's important to get support from like-minded individuals with the same predicaments. hope you girls can tahan i believe eventually MIL will soften to you girls.
Momotan,
on how often to ML to dilate, i really dunno. ideally how many times do u you ML in a week? it differs from a person to person lei. maybe 2-3x a week? is that an overkill? kekeke..
Lilbluey,
sometimes a dream can be a real premonition! if you experience lots of contractions you should minimize movements and rest more. and drink more water. i'm under medication to relax my contractions as well.
Cyn,
So funny reading about your "rape" your hubby on your Bangkok trip! Hahaha.. 5mths pregnant still not bad, not feeling heavy yet and out of MS!
Apple,
ML won't affect baby lah. Baby is safely sealed in waterbag and sealed again via mucous plug. You can ML for so long but if baby don't feel like coming out it won't come out so soon. Relax and enjoy it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Just be gentle and don't be vigorous. When I think about the confinement period where hubby can't touch me I feel sorry for him liao. That's why i give it to him, while stocks last.. hehehe..
ian,
don't just lurk lah. you can talk about your wife mah.. how is she now? what's her latest complain? some of us already opt for no epi so if your wife thinks she can take it, then i will jia you her! but of cos must keep an open mind for her.
cin cin,
you're MIL-less? how lucky! hahaha.. usually towards the end, near delivery, mommy will lose weight. it's a good sign thta labour is coming. it's true for me twice over. baby's of good weight, probably a bit on the bigger side? congrats!
ade,
