Packing for induction

F

Hi, I’ve had 2 kids but with both I was only admitted when I was in full blown active labor and even after I get the epidural, it’s usually over fast so most of my packed stuff are for post delivery. Unfortunately this time, I’ll be induced at 37 weeks due to GD and high BP and I know it can take ages. Any suggestions of what to pack for those waiting times?

I’m thinking snacks, iPad, kindle, long charging cable, birthing ball, hair bands, slippers, robe...what else?
