WBM - I agree 100%. I'm really counting on water for pain relief, and don't know how I would cope without it. If I need to be induced in the end, I'll grit my teeth and do it but it's really not what I want. I would try accupuncture, but money is so tight right now I don't even know where next weeks rent will come from. This is due to the stupid doctor who booked me in for induction without any testing, or medical reason other than she saw I had diabetes. She didn't bother to note it is under control and VERY mild. So DP took days off work, thinking he would need to as bubby was definitely coming last week. No paid leave either. So now he's back at work and I'm back to waiting at home for it to happen Arrgh! Stupid dr cost us half a weeks pay!

Welcome, mummydeb and congratulations

Everyone else - No news. Still pg. Feeling sore and tired but hanging in there so bubby can have the best birth I can give him/her.
