[QUOTE="azure, post: 1426614, member: 39639"] Inductions can take ages so you'll probably be changing your clothes. Choose your labour outfit eg nightshirt, etc, then think about where would be good to put the pump. If it has a clip, then do attach that too so you can move it about if asked to. Neither my pump or my cannula/tubing got in the way at all. I totally forgot about them and the midwives were absolutely fine with them too :) You mentioned your pump bra. I'm not sure what that's like but bear in mind what you want to happen after delivery eg skin to skin, straight to the breast, as you don't want to be fiddling about trying to take clothes off and move your pump then, you want to enjoy those precious first minutes. Take Lucozade and snacks with you, and books, etc to pass the time. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and best of luck for a smooth, easy labour :) [/QUOTE]
