Fivebabies, GL with your next glucose test. How frustrating that they took so long to tell you. There is still a good chance you don't have gestational diabetes.
Pinkin, I have heard that they are sometimes reluctant to give epidurals in the public system. However, they do still use them a lot and given your OBs instructions I'm sure all will be fine. I hope you get a lovely midwife who has a lot of knowledge about your illness and what a hard time you have had during the pregnancy. It is great that your cervix is ripe as that should make the induction go more smoothly. With my DS1 I was 2cm dilated at 37 weeks and hoped I would go into labour on my own before my induction at 38 weeks, but it didn't happen. I think your little boy will stay put until Tuesday. And then you will finally get to meet him! I agree with Butterfly, having 2 boys is super special...(even if mine have spent all morning annoying each other!)
