Being induced - what to wear

5 replies

I'm being induced tomorrow morning and am not sure what to bring / wear in hospital. I've spent most of the last few months in over the bump leggings and cotton maternity top during the day, generally sleep in a big T-shirt at night and wear a pair of old pyjama bottoms around the house in evening.
I have some button down nightdresses and a light dressing grown which I had planned to use after the labour - should I just change into one of them when I get to hospital or do people stay in their daytime clothes while being induced?
Completely overthinking everything at the moment!!

I had a long tshirt and popped on joggers when I was walking around, but a nightie and pyjama bottoms would work to. All the best x

I stayed in daytime clothes whilst I had the pessary in. Think I went in on Sunday afternoon and my waters went at 6am Tuesday morning so yeah, plenty of waiting around, you'll want to go for walks (if you still can at the minute?) and bring plenty to do and some decent snacks - especially fresh fruit etc. as even fresh offerings from hospital taste stale. And a long phone charger if you have one. Good luck, exciting times!!

A t shirt saying "give me all the drugs"
