Fiona - it is a matter of working out the correct level of the hormone for you too, because if they don't give you enough it will cause problems with the birth. Unfortunately chances are you will get it the second time and it is likely to hit earlier, so make sure you have support networks set up, someone to come over every day or every 2 days and help with the washing and cleaning. Acupuncture can help, if you have cover for it then get it. I would be having it if we had PHI, my MW said to try and get PHI asap if we can so that I can have induction AP too

Chook - Definitely go to the physio. If they can't do much they will do what they can. Some hospitals will use ultrasound to help before bubs has engaged, others won't. With DD2 I had the US, but the hospital I am going to now refuses to use US on PG women for anything other than imaging.
