Rae,
I really should not be posting here since I'm not pg now...but I saw the title & had to take a peek. I've had 2 VBACs and an abruption . Yes, you cannot have gel. I was very worried about going over dates for my VBACs but luckily the guys came before EDD.

I think the current plan of kicking back & enjoying these last few precious days is the very best thing you can do! A week is a long time at the end of pregnancy. Can you decide to take your mental energy & focus it on relaxing for these next days? HUGS.
