To the mommies that have been induced.. I have a question

I was induced with my last child and it wasn't that much different. I think you will be fine with whatever you prepared for your bag already!

i was induced and didnt need any pain meds. they provide most everything for you at the hospital so i would take the same thing i would take if i was having a normal "i let labor come on its own" delivery.

Thanks mommas! This is my first so I have no idea what to expect either way....  

I was "kind of" induced. I had effaced to 100% and dilated to 5 on my own and then slowed down progress...but baby's head was at 0 and I was contracting every 2 minutes. So, my midwife sent me to L&D so that I could get my antibiotics in for GBS. So, I did get some pit to help things progress past 5cm. I didn't use a thing from home (other than my cell phone to text friends) while I labored. I went drug free and it took too much concentration to get through the contractions to need anything extra.

I am only 75% effaced and dilated 1 cm so I have a long way to go still lol... I know we are not using the pit right away, as I told my dr want to TRY to do this as natural as possible.. So he just plans on breaking my water first then seeing what happens..  

 With my first baby I was induced and it was nice because I had time to go home and get what I needed and went to the hospital.  You don't really need much I over packed lol.  With my twins I went to labor and delivery thinking I would be sent home.. (I was 33 weeks)   Turns out I was 6 cm dialated and had a c-section with in an hour... I had nothing with me ... DH just made it in time and silly him in his hurry to get there grabbed a bag with a dress, (WTF??)  one shirt and a bra LOL...  All I can say about being induced is that for me it took a long time 24 hours but I had an epidural... I highly reccomend it.

i just wanted to add ..... pack a robe, i forgot my robe with both my babies and it sucked walking around the hospital in that damn frock they make you wear with your butt pretty much hanging out. i wish i had my robe both times. i was induced with my first and not with my second and they went the same way except that being induced made my contractions more intense and hurt more ( in my opinion) other than that they were about the same time in labor ( 6 hours with my daughter who i was induced with and 4 hours with my son who was all natural) wish you the best of luck!

Bring your own pillows and anything else to make the time you spend in hospital more comfortable!

If you are going to use meds, bring a magazine or deck of cards...if you think you will be bored just laying around. And EAT EAT EAT before you go...it might be long and you might get hungry! I was induced with 3 of my kids and it was all fine...2 were 9+ lbs, so good luck! :-)

I was induced with my first and I'm being induced friday to have my other lil girl :D It might not even take as long as your expecting-my whole labor process only took 7 hours-and i started out being 2 cm dialated.  I labored for hours and wasn't progressing so they have me an epideral for the pain, I fell asleep for an hour and woke up completely dialated and ready to push.  I used nothing from home except makeup-lol-
