No advice, just wanted to say good luck!!! I'm so excited for you!

Good luck! No advice since I haven't done this yet myself, but I agree with @cmomma17: to take one last belly pic tonight-- get yourself dolled up a little, fix your hair, maybe some make up. You have the luxury of knowing when your final final belly pic will be

Maybe rent a movie and just snuggle on the couch, or whatever it is you and DH like to do best, just the two of you.

I went in at 9pm and they did Cervadil. After they inserted it, they told me to go down to the food court and get myself something to eat. I had a burger and fries. They waited 6 hours to start the pit. All in all, the Cervadil thinned things out and then the pit had me fully dilated in about 6 hours, I think? It went pretty quick and I slept through most of it until my epidural wore off.

Eat something, bring a movie/book/etc, bring your own pillows. Get some sleep if you can.

Oh my gosh!! Your time is finally here!! I'm so excited for you!!

I had a marathon induction, so I second the recs to bring your own pillows (different color pillowcase than white so you can instantly tell which is yours!), a movie or two, and relax as much as you can.
I wish I had brought more snacks for DH, not just for before, but for after. Poor guy was up nearly as long as I was, and he was starving! I brought my own clothes for after, and I felt way more comfortable.

That sounds perfect! Enjoy the time with your DH! I had a very positive, fast and (relatively) easy induction. Good luck and can't wait to "meet" your LO!

@deerylou: Sounds like the induction plan I had. Eat a big meal, bring stuff to do. From when they got me started on cervadil to when I had a baby was 38 hours. Oh, and if you can't sleep, get morphine. It's two shots in the thigh, but helped me get some much needed rest.

I say you eat a huge meal and a memorable one!! This is the last meal before baby is here, and the last meal you will probably enjoy for a while. I wish I did considering the 20+ hrs I was forbidden food. I was only allowed ice chips, but that's NOT food. Also, you can't have food if you plan on having an epidural. So, make sure to get something in that will sustain you for as long as possible, because you are going to need all the energy you can get!

It's a waiting game in the beginning, but try to relax as much as possible. Try not to do anything that will use up too much of your energy, save it for later!!! Just sleep, like I did.

No advice, as I did not have an induction, but just wanted to wish you good luck and a safe delivery! I hope you have gotten to enjoy your last days with your dh at least as much as possible while uncomfortably pregnant. You'll be in my thoughts! Hope your baby is in your arms soon!

@deerylou: Definitely do eat before you go because they dont let you eat. I also had cervidil and then pitocin induction. I had other complications though so my induction failed but most people I know had a fairly straight forward experience. Good luck!
