Thanks for all your support, everyone, and especially the labour vibes! I could really use them at the moment. LOL, I've got everyone I know of every faith and spiritual tradition doing stuff for me, too (the more positive vibes, energy and prayers out there, the better, I say!). A good female friend of mine is who is a VERY practicing buddhist is going to say special buddhist prayers for me, and last night, a group of very dear Muslim female friends of mine got together and recited a special chapter of the Koran in unison just for me to go into labour. How nice is that?! If nothing else, all this lovely female energy should help.

Thanks for the nod in the direction of the other forum thread (will def check it out), and also the suggestion of the midwife with big hands (that had me laughing!). I think when I go in (to the FBC (AGAIN) tomorrow for more monitoring, I'll request a midwife with simply enormous hands. Either that, or I'll suggest they get a spatula in there or something to help reach I was induced last time and I really, REALLY want to avoid it this time. Syntocinon sucks!
