Induced by having waters broken

I’m about to be induced this week with my third (also third induction but first took pessary and drip, second only took pessary). They plan to just break my waters.

I’d love to know how long your labours were when they induced by breaking waters.

2 weeks PP and feel so weak

Hey. I’m 2 weeks PP today and I’m feeling so weak and drained. I have no appetite to eat. It’s really getting me down and effecting me looking after baby. 😔 please say it gets easier.

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

Herbal tea

Just wanted to put this here as I wish I’d known this sooner. I’ve been drinking a lot of fruity herbal teas as I’ve gone off tea and coffee and still like a hot drink but I’ve just discovered a lot of fruity herbal teas have hibiscus which you are meant I avoid in pregnancy! I had no idea!
