AliB - Sorry to hear having a crappy day!!! You are nearly there! Here's hoping your cervix is favourable - unlike mine.

Lis - Thanks for information re the gel! So you didn't need anything else to get your contractions going??? That could be good...I was wondering with hubby should stay with me that night or not...as I have toddler at home. The in laws will stay over but Daddy will calm him when (and he does 50% of the time) wake at night. What do you think??? Did they recommend your hubby to go home?? I am going to a private hossy and they have a double bed, so DH can stay! But, then again, home and hospital are 10-15mins apart. So he is not far away if I want him.

Glad you get the appointment earlier!!!
