Take ur lappy hun, i did and i have wireless internet so was able to surf the net while being bored out of my brain!!!
i dont think theres anything wrong with ur DP going to work, depending on how ur cervix is look u may have to wait a few hours for the gels to take anyways, not much point both of u sitting around being bored.
Sending u labour vibes hun, hopefully that little miss of yours shows her pretty little face b4 friday
