A member asked:
39 weeks pregnant. delivery scheduled 2nd july. labor induction 6am c section if need same day eve. need to know instructions precautions before induc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Induction: avoid eating after midnight the evening before, be on time, and get some sleep. One of the big reasons labors fail is that the patient is too tired from being up all day and night to push effectively. Bring something comfortable to wear after the baby. If you get an epidural, kick everyone out of the room for a couple hours and sleep.
