Cruemum, it sounds awful that they would break your waters when your cervix was not favourable. Downright cruel in fact. It did the job quickly I suppose but I'm sure you would still shudder at the thought of what they put you through. Was this with your first bub? I asked about the baby being engaged or not and the the response was that first babies usually engage early...Funny how they can make it all sound so simple, but not answer the question.

I read up about the folleys cathetar Trish, it doesnt sound too bad I suppose although it would be uncomfortable walking around with a tube hanging out for hours, as opposed to the papery string of the cervadil, so will have to see what happpens.

Everyone I ask at JHH seems to say something different and I'd love to know who actually makes the decisions when it comes to crunch time...

At my next visit I will be 36 weeks and one person said bring your bags just incase, which I'm not so sure about. I really dont want to go there thinking "this is it" and then have to turn around and do it all again a week later....
