Personally I like to get out and about because I would go mad having to stay in - and it makes time pass more quickly. So although my EDD is on Friday, I have got lots of things planned for before then and after (pub quiz tonigh, lunch on Thursday, cinema Friday, footy Sunday) - I think that the onset of labour won't be that quick so even if I am out will be able to get myself home and sorted ok (I could be proved wrong though but am prepared to take that chance ).

I know though that lots of people choose to stay in, and some people think you shouldn't be out and about - twice this week I have been asked when I am due and when I say Friday people have said "what are you doing out then!"

I think you just have to be comfortable whichever way you choose, if I was worried about going out I wouldn't because would be more stressful, but because I feel very relaxed about it would be more stressful forcing myself to stay in.
