    Well I called the hospital (after much prodding/annoyance from my mum) and they are happy for me to stay home while I'm comfortable. So that's where I will be! I know it will take a long time for labour to establish itself properly...but given I have some prior medical issues, I thought it best I just check in with the hospital to get the go ahead to stay home.

    Thank you so much to you all for your input and advice!

    Woo HOo Fran!!! Well done! You are doing a great job, just remember to keep the warmth & heat on your lower back, it really helps. Also just walking through them. I found I was sitting on the fit ball at home rotating my hips and putting a heat pack on. I climbed into bed & then couldn't stay there for more than 10 minutes because I had to be moving. You are doing really well. Eat some high energy food, but only a small amount. And grab some poweraide to start sipping!
