    I got mine fitted around 34 weeks. But in saying that my blood pressure had started to rise so was concerned about that.

    Ummm... the day she was born

    Probably left it a bit late, that

    I made the booking about 3 days earlier - by that stage I thought she was never coming, anyway! DH left me at the hopsital in labour to go get it fitted, lol.

    At least with a capsule you only need to have the base sitting in the car. But really, it is good to be organised. The midwives kept on telling me off for not having my bags packed at your stage, so installing the capsule seems sensible.

    We didnt - DH put it in himself - it really isn't that difficult.

    We did ours at about 7.5 months, because DH worked away with no guarantee of being able to get home for the birth etc so wanted me to be prepared

    I think doing it now would be prudent and not too eager lol

    I'm hiring a capsule from Qld Ambulance and they fit them when you are 38 weeks - so I'm concerned I'll go early.
