I will be induced next Wednesday at 39w 4d due to GD. I'm not feeling very stressed about it since it is out of my control and I trust my OB. Unless she comes on her own in the next week, we are going to be packing up for the hospital like we would be checking into a hotel. I know inductions can take a day or two which means we will be there for 3/4 nights if all goes well, and longer if I am in need of a c section.

My hospital is awesome. I am in the same room for the birth and recovery, they make up a cot each night for M. There is a fridge, only one patient to a room and a private bath and soaking tub in each room. My in laws are staying at our house with the dogs while we are at the hospital (5 min away) so it will be easy to pick up or have them drop off anything we are missing.

That said, what should be in my hospital bag for an induction that I may not have brought otherwise? I have a stack of books and magazines and a few extra pairs of PJs/lounge clothes. Anything else I should bring? Anything else to keep in mind?
