Hi there! and congrats on the pg!

i recommend getting your hands on a copy of 'the business of being born'. at least, i recommend it because it was the film that totally and completely convinced my DH of the absolute benefits of going ahead with a HB.

Like tashybabe mentioned you can organise with your IM to book through to a hospital for transfer (this cuts out the admin time and lets them know that you are about etc etc).

goodluck!!
