Bag for induction?

[Dinolady]

I have my labor bag packed, but now that I'm being induced i feel as though i need to readjust...
My labor bag has the bare minimum- was planning on going in when spontaneous labor started, but now obviously not the plan anymore.
Obviously no one knows how long induction could take (fingers crossed for a quick one!), but if you were induced what did you find useful??
Looking for all the tips and tricks and advice!
My sister will be my birthing partner as well if that means anything.

I hope it is quick for you! Mine was - it does happen!

Anything that will help you relax - a fully charged phone with your favourite music on, a good book, a few changes of comfy pjs, snacks, a fan (wards can be HOT!), some nice shower gel/body cream to make yourself feel a bit nicer, ear plugs

Best of luck, come back and let us know how you get on

If you're having gas and air then I recommend a good lip balm like Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula to stop your lips cracking. Also, drink lots of water.

Entertainment and snacks helped pass the time for me (3 days!) I couldn't concentrate on books but listening to radio through headphones was good.

If I had another induction I would take eye mask and ear plugs to aid sleep (can be tricky if you're in a bay on a shared ward) and either pack more clothes or leave a bag in the car with extra clothes that could be brought in.

Money! My hospitals card machines didn’t work, so when going for a walk for a cup of coffee I was out of luck.

Phone, tablet, kindle, cross stitch, crochet, puzzle books, chargers/charging block, earplugs, earphones, eyemask.

Hopefully if you're planned you'll get a private room rather than a bay so DP can stay.

Lots of pants.
