Midnight induction next week! How to prepare?

Question

Has any one had a midnight induction before? Should I sleep all day leading up to it? What should I eat before going in, something light or heavy? This is my second baby, but first time being induced. Not sure how to prepare - any advice is welcomed!

Answer

I had my first dose Prostaglandin Gel at 8pm they expected to have to give me a second dose. 10.30pm I was taken from the ward to L& d bubs was born 8am

Answer

Not midnight but, depending on your dilation you should have some time to relax before the contractions start. Definitely rest but dont worry if you're too excited too, just take it easy. Took me 16 hiurs after my induction to give birth. Eat light but stay full or youll be sick. Do you have a birth plan or just go with the flow?
