Induction

[Mummytobe22LO]

Has anyone been induced at 37 weeks?
Do I need anything different in hospital bag? Or need to prepare any differently?

Yes due to my baby being small for gestational age. Nothing different to pack, lots of snacks for the induction process as it can be long. From first pessary to birth was 20 hours for me, BUT from first PAIN to birth it was only 2 hours so could have been a lot worSe!

Similar advice to 20viona. I was induced at 37 weeks also. Took a while overall so good to have stuff downloaded to watch/ read and a stash of nice food and drink. The ward was bright and noisy at night so I wish I'd had a sleep mask and ear plugs. Baby was 6.5lbs, so not tiny but standard newborn stuff was pretty baggy.

My induction went fine op. Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Induced at 37 weeks twice now. Definitely bring along lots of entertainment. Same for snacks and treats to keep your spirits up. First induction was less that 24 hours before I was on the delivery suite. Second was 5 days. My own pillow was a godsend in antenatal, delivery suite and postnatal. Just make sure it's in anything BUT in a plain white pillow case. It's much more likely to get lost.

Both babies were well grown at 37+1 (7lb5) and 37+6 (8lb2), so went straight into 0-1mo clothes. Hopefully you'll have a better idea of what clothes size you'll need for your LO.

Best of luck @Mummytobe22LO !
