What massage oil is safe to use during labour?
Q. Im having my first baby in a couple of weeks, and am wanting to buy a massage oil that is safe to use during the labour. It doesnt have to be scented - just something that will help - any advice would be great!

A. Mandarin oil Lavender oil Neroli oil Clary Sage oil Roman Chamomile oil Frankincense oil These don't have anything properties might affect your mood or your breathing during labour, which might be dangerous for you or your baby. Some other oils can make you very anxious which of course is very risky during labour, or they can increase your heart rate even more which can severely complicate things. Good luck in your labour, and be safe and stick to the oils which I recommended :)

How long is the processing of Dubai Labour Contract?
Q. I'm already on residence visa and the papers have submitted to Ministry of Labour for my Labour Contract. How long is the processing as I need to sponsor my mother-in-law for residence visa, this Labour Contract is a requirement and is a 1 bedroom hall apartment enough as a tenancy contract is also required. I am with my wife, baby and mother-in-law. Thanks.

A. You have several issues here: 1. it takes about 3 weeks to a month. 2. sponsering your mother in law is not easy, you have to prove that you are her sole supporter to do that. 3. 1 bedroom is enough for sponsering your wife and baby, but recently there has been a change in regulations and now you can't get anyone on a visit visa unless you have at least 2 bedrooms (my cousin's husband could'nt get his mother for a visit until he rented a 2-bd apartment.

What is the most common sign of labour to come first?
Q. I am 38 weeks pregnant on Thursday, and every little niggle is getting me excited / anxious that labour is coming. I was just wondering if there are any signs that normally come first, like which order do things happen in. I know the common signs of the start of labour, like the waters breaking, regular contractions and the show, but I would like to know which of these things comes first most commonly. Thank you in advance for your answers!

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

  • No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There is always work, and tools to work withal, for those who will.
  • Let parents who hate their offspring rear them to hate labor, and to inherit riches; and before long they will be stung by every vice, racked by its poison, and damned by its penalty.
  • Labor is sweet, for Thou hast toiled, And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Let not our works with self be soiled, Nor in unsimple ways ensnared. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus! be our light.
