Induction Tomorrow!- keep me company!

I’m being induced tomorrow, got to ring at 8:30am to find out a time to go in!

Stupidly or not stupidly told my husband to go to work like normal tomorrow as I think I’ve got to have the 24hr pessary first and there’s no point him waiting around with me. He’s also rotated on for Saturday but obviously if things are moving he can be with me!

Good luck! Marking my place to keep you company 😊

tisonlymeagain · 23/01/2020 18:23

Good luck! Induction for me tomorrow too.

Brianna83 · 24/01/2020 08:37

Oooh good luck OP! Mine is booked for 31st Jan so will be watching with interest.

Have you called? Are you going in today?

I have the same plan re telling my OH to go to work, I understand the beginning is a fairly long process and he's only a 10 min drive from the hospital so seems pointless us both being there.

Are you taking anything to pass the time? Was considering taking my embroidery but not sure if I'll look a bit daft?!

Excited for you!

Stilllivinginazoo · 24/01/2020 08:42

I can keep you company
Is this your first child?
Have you got a time to go in yet?

Stilllivinginazoo · 24/01/2020 08:44

@Brianna83 take it!!I took crossword/soduku/magazines etc.it wasn't quick and it's frustrating waiting for things to get going if you are bored!

ballsdeep · 24/01/2020 08:45

I told my husband to go to work too. Last time nothing happened for 3 days but all was fab and fine and I enjoyed the rest 😊 good luck to you!!

gizmosslave · 24/01/2020 09:02

This is my second baby! First one was induced too so know what to expect!

I just phoned and they currently have no beds so got to wait for a call- which is not helping any anxiety I have!

Oh crikey OP it's really happening now! Are you all ready to go or are you last minute panic packing?

... I'll be the latter 😂

gizmosslave · 24/01/2020 10:42

I panic packed last night!

Stilllivinginazoo · 24/01/2020 17:45
