nic - hahaha it is close isnt it - and boy does time fly - i just hope this last little part of it goes smoothly and i dont need too be induced - something has too go right!
Thank you for your well wishes

queenbee - at last a story that dosent scare me and gives me some hope! could u still move around whilst on the drip? i want too be as active as i can throughout - otherwise lying on a bed the whole time i think is just going to make it worse!

kitten76 - im not much of a fan of needles - too be honest i have a phobia of them - funny considering i needed them for the first 6mths of this pregnancy! i have heard about emla and just thought that it was a gimmick and all in ones head - but now i just might get some - better too be safe than sorry - i think u can get it from chemist cant u?
I like the idea of a faster labour - but than i also like the idea of the pain slowly creeping up and not hitting u all at once - im also petrified of needing a c-section if things dont work out - i have read inducing can increase that risk!
Its a big relief however hearing that it dosent hurt to break ur waters! Phew - that bit was really scaring me!

Thanks everyone for ur quick reply! The thought that im going to be a mum soon has really hit me now!!!
