Thanks ladies...............I really appreciate the support and advice.

I've been busy today reading and researching all I can. I went out and bought some EPO and RTL tablets and will start them tonight. I also found a acupuncturist who specialises in women's health and is accredited with the AACMA. I have my first appointment with her tomorrow at 12noon. She was very understanding of my situation and stated that the treatment will not put me into labour if my body is not ready but at a minimum it will assist in preparing my body for labour so in the event that I do get to the 'induction date' that a minimal amount of intervention may be all that's needed. ie: stretch and sweep or ARM, I may be able to then continue with a natural labour - as avoiding any drug intervention is my main concern.

I'll keep you guys posted...........if there is anything else that you think might assist feel free to tell me as I'm prepared to try anything to avoid this induction - IF YOU HADN"T ALREADY GUESSED THAT
