I wouldnt go tbh as once your in they could well find reasons to keep you in.

If still no contractions within 24 hours you willl need to go in incase of infection

how many weeks pregnant are u?

i agree i wouldnt go in, call them back and say im booked for a hb and they will have to send someone out to u.

I'm 40+4 and had a sweep today with the midwife and then been for a very long walk this evening and it all seems to have worked

just confused by the hospital she said they were very busy and could i wait and hour before heading in

Definitely dont go in, it seems once your in they say whatever they can to keep you.

Call back and say your booked in for a homebirth and will call when you feel you need a MW

they cant refuse to send a mw out to u so i really wouldnt be bullied into going in just yet.
