Have just been for another scan to review my levels of amniotic fluid and they have decided to induce this afternoon (am 39 +1)! Think I am all packed, but is there anything I might not have remembered given I might be there till Sunday/Monday?? This all feels a bit surreal!

I was induced - first pessary at about 03.00 and baby born the same day - albeit not until 22.16. Still under 24 hours though!

It was fine. Take magazines. I drank loads of isotonic drinks - which made me throw up! I can't even stand the smell of them now!

Good luck

Good luck! My gave birth 4 hours after her first pessary

Agree with magazines, your own pillow and nice snacks. Also your phone charger!

Ooooh MoragG How Exciting!! Aslong as you have snacks for you and hubby/partner and drinks and a few clothes for baby (and nappies) and you. You'll be fine. I didn't use half of what I packed breast pads (too many), nappies(far too many), too many toiletries.

Don't forget your toothbrush and towel

WOW - Best of Luck honey xxxxx
