Thank you all so much for your suggestions... you all have provided me with some good advice!

Aw Nessa your so sweet - I wish I had friends/family like you!
mrmoo - its good to know if we have to bring DD with us that it wont affect her too much psychologically - that is what I was most worried about.
Shannon thats great advice RE asking the hospital. I will talk to the MW's at the hospital at my next visit & see if they have any services for people in our situation.
Kimbaz Good idea! I will get started with contacting council / daycare tomorrow.

If only we all new exactly when and what time our babies would come

I have left it so late - I just assumed at least someone in our family / group of friends may be able to help

Thanks Again!!!
