Hope everything goes wonderfully for you and baby tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1439442 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 23:11:21 +0000 anandam 1439442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As others said, arrive well fed, rested, and mentally prepared for a long haul, maybe 2-3 days.

I was induced with my first. My best advice is to eat before you get there, and to sleep if you can throughout the day. I slept for two hours and during that time went from a 5 to a 10. I think my body really needed me to relax and the sleep helped so much. Good luck and congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438966 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:02:58 +0000 Kimberlybee 1438966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck and best wishes for a smooth delivery and speedy recovery!

My induction went really well and I still felt like I had plenty of time to walk and labor naturally (once they started things). </p> <p>I would add bring an extra pillow since you will have times when you are on the monitors and stuck in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438703 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:11:34 +0000 jhd 1438703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438663 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:04:26 +0000 artsyfartsy 1438663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: That's awesome advice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438491 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:37:01 +0000 coopsmama 1438491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tips as I wasn't induced but GOOD LUCK! :) I'm sending strong labor vibes your way.

I was induced on a Tuesday night and baby was born Thursday at 5am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438472 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:35:12 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1438472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: oh you're going to meet your baby so soon!!! I didn't plan on being induced and had been preparing for a med-free birth. I ended up having a great experience. My tips:<br /> -Relax before. The night before I made lemon bars for the nurses and ate a delicious dinner.<br /> -Believe in your body. I was bummed that I "couldn't" do it "naturally", but I fully believed I could have a healthy delivery with minimal interventions. Bring everything you would have brought to help you out (like music, etc). Tell your nurse your plans to keep meds/interventions low &amp; see how they can help (mine got me the only wireless monitor in the building and an exercise ball).<br /> -Bring something to do! My husband did his schoolwork, but I only had crappy TV to watch. I wish I had brought a book.<br /> -Find your best attitude and look on the bright side: Contractions can't be "worse" with the medicine because you've never felt them before! And now the wondering part is over! It's baby time!! :heart: </p> <p>I had the obvious interventions (pitocin, IV, monitoring), but no epideral and got to labor in various positions. I was open to some medication my nurse/midwife recommended to help me cope for a period of time &amp; agreed to a vacuum extraction. It wasn't what I thought I wanted, but it was an amazing birth experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438457 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:32:33 +0000 chopsuey 1438457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438454 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:31:51 +0000 Smurfette 1438454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat for sure!</p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438440 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:29:54 +0000 swedishfish 1438440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely bring a laptop or iPad. I brought books as well but couldn't concentrate on reading. Good luck tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438431 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:28:41 +0000 loveisstrange 1438431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring something to entertain yourself, inductions can take a while to get going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438399 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:22:38 +0000 winniebee 1438399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438343 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:03:12 +0000 Espion 1438343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go in completely open minded. Don't get stressed if things don't progress as planned, because you are meeting your baby in the end!</p> <p>We brought pillows (in colorful pillowcases, so they didn't get mixed up), rented some movies on iTunes, on top of the other usual stuff. In retrospect, DH should have brought something warmer to wear (I was so hot!) and more snacks for DH so he wouldn't starve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438320 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:53:20 +0000 artsyfartsy 1438320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: Definitely! Last time I was in the hospital I was there for 28 hours with no food! I've got a nice hearty breakfast planned in the morning before heading out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-induced-in-the-morning-give-me-some-tips#post-1438315 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:52:03 +0000 MamaJ 1438315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I can think of is to eat before. I was starving. My induction wasnt planned. I went to the doc for my appointment and we planned on doing breakfast after but got sent to the hospital. I didn't deliver DS until 9pm. MIL brought me a burrito from a 24 hour fast food place thank god! </p>
