Hi - I am due 30th March and I'm planning on travelling by train from South East to Midlands (changing once via London Underground) tomorrow and dh will bring me back at w/end. The midwife says the baby's head isn't engaged at all and said it was fine to go as long as I don't mind having the baby in Nottingham (which I don't). I feel a bit nervous using the undergound so late in pregnancy though. Did any one travel this late in pregnancy on the train/ does anyone think it's a very bad idea?!!

LucyJones - DS did not engage until labour. He was one day overdue and like you I had an appt to discuss induction for the following Thursday - thats just routine I think.

Thanks Bozza! Do you think it's okay to go on my own to the hospital next Thursday or should I take dh in case they do a sweep? Can it cause pain so going home alone isn't a good idea (I'll be walking)? TIA
