Hello!
I'm booked in on wednesday for my induction! I will be 39 weeks bang on! I've started having cramps but as of yet nothing to signal baby wants to speed things up, just that hes head down and fully engaged!
Just wondering what I should be packing, and how much of it? Due to coronavirus, the antenatal ward I'm on do not allow any visitors at all and once I'm checked into the ward I'm not allowed to leave either. My partner is allowed in once I'm transferred to the labour ward which will be once they break my waters and have available midwives or if my waters end up going spontaneously.
I have been told it could be up to a week I'm in for, or it could go really fast and be out in a day or so, but it's making me a bit lost over what to pack for the best and being anxious over not having my partner is just further setting my mind back!
The babys bag is packed and car seat is ready, and OH will bring those once I'm in labour. However if you think theres anything I'm missing off that bag please let me know! I've seen so many conflicting lists!
Babys bag.
-nappies
-wipes
-3 sleep suits
-socks x2
-scratch mitts
-blanket
-hat
-jacket
Have also seen cotton wool, which i have ready but just haven't added yet!
For my bag so far I have
-night and day clothes (but trying to keep minimal for space!) So potentially 4 days worth
-underwear
-flip flops for bathroom!
-slippers
-toiletries
-nipple and maternity pads
-phone and tablet plus chargers
-snacks and drinks (also wondering about food I can eat cold e.g pasta, sandwiches)
-book(s)
-maternity notes.
Really racking my brains after that and I'm sure theres obvious stuff I'm missing!
Any help would be fab!
