Hello! 2nd baby here so I should know what I'm doing but it's so different to my first that I think I need to prepare myself. First baby was born at 41+4 after a long labour, normal delivery, no problems.
This little monkey has decided he's coming early - waters broke at 35 weeks, have been kept in hospital til today to see if things start but probably being sent home this morning. If I don't labour naturally I am being induced on Tuesday.
So my questions are:
Has anyone been induced early but after their waters have gone?
What should I be writing in my birth plan?
I was going to write it at 37 weeks
I seem to remember something about vitamin k, the injection for the placenta, how I wanted to labour etc. is there anything else important I need to write in it?
Also I will be a 25 minute drive away from hospital, so if I do start labour naturally, do you think I should try to get there quickly?
Do you think it's safe for DH to go to work in the interim as he is 2 hours away from home and I don't have anyone else who can take me.
Also, anything you think I should be doing or not doing once I get home?
Sorry for all the questions - it's all a bit scary especially as baby will be 4 weeks early and at risk of infection - font want him born at home or in the car
