Question

hi hi. went for appt jn. my edd is in 2 days. baby scanned at 3.2-3.3kg. however i havent start to dilate yet hence she wants to me to be admitted this sunday and induced, and also suggested for me to take epi. i think bc of my small built, she thinks i wont be able to take labour pain. but btwdoes that mean ill be delivering by Sunday night or maybe monday? do i bring my hospital pack on this Sundays admission?

You’ll likely deliver on Sunday/Monday, that’s right. So bring your hospital bag. The reason she suggested epidural might be because labour can potentially be very long when you’re induced, so you’ll be in pain for many many hours. Of course it’s still up to you at the end of the day. Have a safe delivery and congratulations!
