    LIME!
    I hope those Knobs are leaving you alone. I cant believe the tools would actually HARRASS a woman on the verge of labour (well actually I can imagine them stooping that low). I mean seriously, how is that ethical!? What are their "concerns" for you exactly?

    Oh my goodness! I can't believe they're harrassing you! The hospital I'm booked into (in case I go early again) has my due date at 19th instead of my date the 24th.. and I asked my midwife - they won't hassle me when it comes to that due date will they? She said they wouldn't. Now you've got me worried! LOL.

    I hope they leave you alone and don't end up stalling labour! I don't think I know your history actually.. were you under OB care, but planning a home birth? How does that work?

    ohhhhh that is sooo sneaky of them!!!! grrr! i hope that it is all ok for you and you feel safe and supported regardless of their attempts at fear-mongering...remember, you are a birthing mama, your waters have broken your baby will come...

    if they are harrassing you for the waters thing, tell 'em to shove it! a heap of research has come out stating that it is more than ok and normal to let labour initiate within 5-6 DAYS....

    you are perfect and your baby has been baked to perfection. xx
