Inducing.... What am I going to expect??? I'm getting induced Saturday. What precautions should I look at.

Can I eat? Drink... Be the same normal self I am.. Or should I mentally prepare myself for what's going to happen...

Sorry, first time mommy... And I'm feeling soooooo many emotions.

Oh and i was wearing my bra until my girl was born.  Then they took everything off so i would be skin to skin with my baby:)

I had to be induced with my first child because she was overdue. They put the string in for me i dont remember what its called. The contractions started almost immediately and were really bad and very close together (not even 1 min apart)After a few hours i wanted the epidural. Right after the epidural was in i realxed and didn't feel the contractions anymore. But my water broke while they were still starting the meds and shortly after that i had to push. I felt every push and felt my girl come out. Had to get a lot of stitches later on. THe epidural was awesome but i do hope to go into labor naturally this time.

That's not what my doc said... They like... Put a string of some sort up.... There.

Is that the balloon?????? Uh ooh. And the reason I asked about a bra.. Is.. Well, I hate not wearing one. Ahaha. But, what... All I can do is ask.. Right?

I know they had me take everything off for legal reasons in case they had to do random surgery or if i had problems with my heart. Its just something my hospital does with all ob patients in labor. I hated that though lol. As for the inducing, all the women i know that have been induced said it wasn't noticeably more painful. Good luck!!!
