Cor, this thread has raced along!
Congrats, hmm! Hope you're both home soon :)
Vix thanks for updating the stats thread - just had a nosey as I was wondering what we were supposed to do about 'popped' ones.
Have we heard from mumcha?
Addicted that sounds terribly stressful - I hope you get answers soon. Pretty shoddy if they're giving you the fob-off because they can't schedule you - at least a bit of keeping you in for observation would be in order, I would think! Fingers crossed it's a sign that it isn't too serious (just scary).
umf good luck for your viva - I do hope you stay away from MN and don't read this till after you've passed :)
Fenouille I would be gutted and I think that counts - you've had your three pieces now and can relax!
Pidgin, blondecat, pyjamalover, thanks re MW and epi. Hopefully you're right that she's just pushing the party line as a mere first line of fob-off. Didn't know about the NICE guidelines - but last time I wanted an epi (my grand plan was, hospital and epi for first baby, homebirth for second baby) and the MW seems to have pulled what I understand is quite a standard trick, which is to quite deliberately stall and insist I couldn't be ready yet, until, oh dear, too late (big part of why consultant wrote 'early'). DP very much got the impression that it wasn't so much ideology as that she couldn't be bothered with the extra work. Perhaps if I break down and have a panic attack (or, better, point out that it's likely), it will get results :o
Though I'm less concerned with this now, thanks to your lovely advice :) but also because my ex-cat had to be put down last night :( (Ex as in, I rehomed him with a friend when I moved to the UK, so he became someone else's cat). He was only eight or nine, but it seems he caught some nasty feline viruses while roughing it as a stray in his youth. I stayed up till 2:30 a.m. to wait for the expected sad news from Australia (the bit that's GMT + 9.5) and got an astonishing load of tidying done!
Loooopy seconding a yay for the MW! Seems odd that the cons would suggest labouring at home then transferring - how is that different from a standard hospital birth? 
What Privet said - maybe if you do see a cons again, you'll get a different registrar (hopeful). Hopefully it will be over too quickly for them to move you :o I have heard that papaya is used in Polynesia to induce labour, as it is an 'abortificant' like pineapple - i.e. supposed to be risky early on but to help induce labour. But it might pay to check it's safe before tucking in! And my aunt said she went into labour with her DD2 after riding pillion on her DH's scooter :)
comtessa roll on Friday evening! And yay for having finished, pyjamalover! (Wimpy SAHM - but then I look at friends who get to offload their toddlers to nursery - it's a trade-off :))
sarahbuff lol at the cunning omission of the mouthpiece
bunnygirl lol, any hot tips as to how to achieve revenge snoring?
smoky fingers crossed all is ok with the BP. If they do have to induce/c-sec you because of it (hope not!), do you know whether they will try to hold out till the latest possible date, or just go ahead and do it? (I think you're 34-ish weeks?)
Cor, is that the time? - Goodnight, bumps! :)
