induction on saturday

Well ladies, if my lil man isn't here by Saturday then they will be inducing me Saturday night. I am terrified!! Does anyone have any advice? Is there a special diet I should eat beforehand? Is there anything I should prepare myself for?

Just try and relax and stay calm :)   I was induced twice - the first time I was 12 days overdue, they gave me the passary and sent me home again.   When it didn;t work, they admitted me the next day, let me walk about etc until a bed in Labour ward became available, broke my waters at 7pm and said I could walk about until contractions etc started, BD and I went to the lounge room and sat listening to radio while I bounced on birthing ball and my contractions started within about 10-15 minutes :) x

Im being induced tmro morning for medical reasons. All I was told was to be there at 7 am. I wasn't told not to wat after a certain time or anything. Just to call before we head out to be sure we can still come in. (Bc if the hospital is busy they reschedule bc they tend to the mommas who are already there and in labor on their own.)
I'm nervous too but it will be fine. I have Group B Strep so I will be on antibiotics for 4 hours before they start pitocin. But yay! We get to hold our babies soon! Congrats and good luck Sat/Sun with your induction.

Just prepare yourself for being in bed a lot before you deliver they monitor you the whole time. It's rough but it's worth it. Drink tons and tons of water and eat everything you can friday:)
