I had one on the Tues with the gremlins and had a show on the Wed, then was induced on the Sat and they were born on Sat. I was 2cm dilated when I had the s and s and I was 4cm when I arrived at the hospital to be induced so it obviously helped a little. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

yup i did it was more painful but my mw said she wanted to do it properly she did apologize.
i messaged my husband on msn telling him they are about 10-15 minutes apart he asked me if i wanted him to come home i said i would call hem if the get closer together and longer/more intense he finishes at 4pm so cant see him needing to come home before then. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

No should be ok till then, just bear in mind if your waters break things might speed up so if that happens probably get him to come home.
Hope its not too hot in your part of the country. -------------

So long as your waters aren't leaking or broken, sex is fine. ------------- |
