Good idea to get him home - the state of things can change quickly and you dont' want to be dealing with this and DS on your own. What I also found worked really well was just sitting on the loo when I wanted a rest from walking - no mess and it helped him moved down a little further too.

And another thing too, just pay attention to the colour of your waters, if they start to get discoloured at all then bubs may have passed a little meconium, now that's nothing to worry about, but it's just worth paying attention to and mention it to the hospital if you have to call them again.
