thanks everyone!

i am feeling a bit better about it all now... am going for another round of monitoring this morning, and as long as that is good (which it is bound to be - it's not like it's been borderline at my last two appointments or anything), then i will just have to try to be patient and wait it out!!

BekZ, i like your story of the lack of pre-labour and then a quick labour - i've got my fingers crossed for a similar experience!!

Tanya - 45weeks - yikes!! i'm not sure i'm THAT patient!!!
