>Thanks dr and leanne you have been alot of help. I have been wondering really what to expect and am very confused to what is going to happen but both of you have givin me a possitive outlook on soon bringing home my baby girl.Dr I have one more question for you. With them tearing part of my water (outter Layer) am I first of all prone to infection OR because i am not effaced can i expect it still to be so early. Last they checked I was about 4 cm but I was long and postirour is what they told me.
