❗❗❗❗❗❗Officially being induced Sept 17th... Any advise?? What to bring/pack advise anything at all??? FTM and nervous as can be... Due to chronic hypertension and preeclampsia is why they wont let me go any further so ill be 37 weeks.
@annlou, makes sense. im just super nervous and my mom n sis in WI and are trying to come up with money to be here but isnt looking good so now im kinda really nervous.
@landon1002, Other than eating and packing bags? Maybe clean the house so you can relax once you're home. Take a nice long hot bath all to yourself night before. It can be nice to know when you're delivering cuz you can get things ready without worrying that you'll have to get ready again, kwim?
@aboutellesbabe, i did google some and took a little off each and it ended up being 4 pages one sided but had everything covered to my husband cutting cord once its done pulsating to dimmed lights to visitors and medication. lol. @annlou they said light breakfast so would eggs and toast be good? they didnt say much about what to do b4 so not sure how to prepare besides bags
If you type into google hospital bag packing, there are a lot of great lists that can help you :) also, there are good birth plans too that you can print out and give to your doc. You may not be able to get your way on some things, but there are great suggestions on the lists for after you have the baby. Like what shots you want the baby to have or if you want skin to skin contact, or delayed cord clamping :) all that fun stuff. They say you should print out three copies to give to your nurses so that they can reference that instead of constantly asking you what you want when your tired. Good luck!
There are advantages to being induced, you can be a little more prepared. I would suggest eating before you go in, since they'll discourage it once your there. Something protein and carb, like eggs and toast. Been there; good luck with it!
