Hi Relle,

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear that babe. It is a lot of negative stuff that you hear re inductions and I just find it hard to know what to do, particularly with varying advice from people, ykwim? and it sounds as though I would still have some control over things with Dennis and Cabrini, which is good. He was so great this morning really I just think it gave me a shock because it really hadn't been a consideration at this point.

I have just spoken to mum and she is going to come over this afternoon and do the shopping for me etc and will come each day to let me rest for the rest of the week. I think that my MIL could maybe take Ella Thursday till Saturday morning though so that could be good too. Then I figure I can give myself til my appointment with him Monday to see how I am feeling. But you are right, I need to not have Ella here so I can actually rest properly. The problem is on the flipside, I will miss her so much as it's such an emotional time I just want her with me - anyway, what's best for me and the bub is the most important thing and if it means a few days with her away at granny's then so be it.

Thanks so much again - thanks for your email too, I appreciate the chat offer and will probably take you up on it!!!
