MTW thats what I had...I had the proglastin gel stuff, it gets inserted on a type of tampon, mine slipped out and had to be replaced at some point but that started at about 3pm the day before. The mw then gave me a sleeping tablet, hubby went home and then when she came to do an internal and my waters broke as I got out of bed.....contraction started afterwards I cant remember exactly when but were bad enough to want hubby back at 3am....DD was born 5.30pm that avo......long time but I was high on pethedine for most of it and its a route I intend to go again....it didnt really help the contractions but it made me calm in between.

Wow that was a ramble....anyway yes I had the gel and it did work....its not comfortable but hey after an internal and what is to come.....it wont even register Hey you'll have your bub on my due date

I managed to get my appointment changed for 40+1 so week on tues, i will be begging for a s+s and an induction date just in case....I got bumped twice last time because of natural births...some people are so inconsiderate

AliB - sorry your having a downer, I had a crying day yesterday but it passed and just go for the s+s - at worse it will do nothing
