Thanks Sarah.

Re natural induction methods, the only things I've been doing are Raspberry Leaf tablets (for the last 2-3 weeks), Evening Primrose Oil tablets (for about the last week), sitting and rocking on a fitball (last week or 2), and walking (for the last couple of days now that I'm getting impatient!!).

And the only sign of impending labour I've had (other than the very mild tightenings/contractions) is a bit of a show/MP over the last couple of days.

I just wonder how far labour can possibly progress without major signs/symptoms - I mean if I got to 5cm with nothing - where am I at now? surely I'll know before I get to transition? My DH is worried about me birthing the baby in the car during a mad dash toward the hospital!!!

Really it's probably less that I'm impatient, and more that I just hate not knowing what's happening.

Anyway, best of luck with your labour - I hope things get moving and you get to meet your little man really soon!
