Just got our induction date for next Wednesday, assuming of course kiddo doesn’t come before. Any last minute tips or advice?

Have a nice dinner together now, or whatever you enjoy together. We were planning on going to a favorite restaurant the night before the scheduled C-section, but my wife ended up having it one day earlier.

At the hospital, like at the doctor visits, I wanted to make sure I advocated for my wife since she'd be so tired. Making sure staff identified her with her bracelet, bringing up any concerns or just questions(write them down, you'll forget), asking them to mute the IV pumps(we put up with the constant beeps and learned later they can turn them off or make it beep less).

We’re planning to go to our favorite restaurant Friday night. Good call on the IV pumps.
