Tally I hope things kick off well and truly for you this afternoon! Are there any ways to get things going? I think I'd call the hospital if I were you. Is the scan for something that will have an impact on your labour?
BabC how was the film? I started the book but couldn't read it, found it a bit too harrowing!
Bumps I hope the sweep has done the trick!
Dannid and Jane I was at the midwife yesterday and so far noone has mentioned things in 1/5s - what does that mean, is it how far down the baby's head is? My bump's bottom is definitely way above my tummy button and the midwife said it's at the rim but not in yet (not sure what that meant...other than that it's nowhere near out!!).
Fingers crossed for Edward!
Ladies, thank you all for your advice on whether you told your parents or not when you went into labour - I think it was pretty much an even split so no help at all 
! I'd still rather not tell anyone but mum was pretty adamant when she was through on Monday so I reckon I'll tell her and dad (at a reasonable time of day if we go in in the middle of the night) and let DH decide what to do about his parents.
Mum has offered to come to the hospital to relieve DH if he needs a break but he really doesn't want her there so now I have to work out how best to tell her that!! He hates hospitals, hates being too hot (which he will be in a hospital) and doesn't cope too well with stress! I'd feel better with someone nearby to relieve him if he needed it - he has epilepsy and stress, heat, lack of sleep, irregular eating are all triggers for him...and I think all of those things may be the case I feel like I'd rather not have to worry about him when in the throes of getting this baby out, but on the other hand he says having mum there will just add to his stress! (He is fond of her but she's even bossier than me!!) Mum and Dad live an hour and a half away so they wouldn't be here immediately anyway so I think what I'll do is suggest that they come through here but go to our flat (which is five minutes from the hospital) and wait there so we can call on them if we need to.
Right, off to get ready for my FIL visiting to tackle the to-do list I've made for him! Thank goodness I summoned up the energy to make a malteaser tray bake yesterday to bribe/reward him with!
