Thanks everyone...has given me something to think about! I have not yet told family about what is happening but sounds like I might need to give them the heads up sooner rather than later to start organising contingency plans - plus might need to cancel xmas at our place (yep I was planning on doing xmas).

I would love to go further than 38wks with this one as DS had trouble feeding etc when born and they were saying that he was acting a bit prem - so I would like this one to bake a bit longer, and if that means I have to go to Melb to be closer to the hospital but it means that they might let me go longer then so be it - wonder if I will be up for any shopping!

Fingers crossed that when I have the proper scan at 34 wks all is ok and I can stay up here!

Thanks again for the thoughts and advice.
