What did you eat before getting induced?

I will be admitted to the hospital at 4pm next Wednesday (39 weeks) for induction if nothing happens before then. What was your last meal before you were admitted?

All my fingers hurt

Rant!!! 38+2 today and getting induced next Wednesday if nothing happens before then. For the last ~4 weeks, all my fingers have been hurting or numb (trigger finger and I assume carpal tunnel). I’ve been wearing wrist braces almost 24/7 and so looking forward to having normal hands again!

Is a nursing pillow worth it or will stacking regular pillows suffice?

FTM and plan is to BF but also bottle feed; we’ll see how it goes.

Been looking at the my brest friend nursing pillow but unsure if it’s a necessity. Would love to hear from other moms and what has worked for you.

Thanks in advance!

Bottle washer/sterilizer/dryer

FTM at 34+1 and having a hard time deciding whether to get a bottle washer/sterilizer/dryer or maybe just a sterilizer/dryer before or after baby is born. I would like to BF and will have a pump as well but would also like to have hubby feed baby sometimes, but of course, I’m not gonna know if I could BF or if I’ll have to combo feed or just formula feed.

We have a dishwasher but there is no specific sterilize option. I would also prefer to not spend copious amounts of time manually washing/sterilizing bottles and pump parts if I can help it.

I’m so indecisive with this and would love any advice on if this was a good purchase for you or not. Thank you!
