So, I found out today I'm being induced on Sunday, at 37 weeks, due to the baby's growth having gradually slowed down.
I'd hoped for a water birth, or at the very least to be as active as possible, using a birthing ball and different positions. I'm trying to get my head around this sudden new reality, but am still in a bit of a daze.
One thing I need to figure out is what to take to hospital. I had nearly finished packing my bags, but am not sure now if I should be starting again to account for a longer stay. For those of you who were induced, do you have any handy tips on things that it's good to take along? Or advice on which items I might need more of than if I was having a natural birth?
I should really be asleep but have too many thoughts buzzing around!
Thanks so much
