Hellooo, just had a sweep so sat around waiting for things to get moving. Had two with previous pregnancies and they worked!! I have never had an epidural and would really like one this time, I'm just wondering when you would normally go in to hospital? Last time(s) I was told after contractions became too much or every 3-5mins, the usual, then go in. I understand though that having an epi will depend on wether or not an anesthetist is available and stuff!!
