Scheduled induction FTM

in December 2016 Moms
So I went to the Dr for my normal weekly check & he said my amniotic fluid was low at a 6.5 and that we needed to have baby next week. He scheduled me to go into hospital on Dec 1 at 6pm and be induced on Dec 2. What should I expect as I'm a huge control freak and feel like this is completely out of my hands?!

    I don't have any advice but just wanted to say I'm sorry!  Sounds a bit stressful!  Fingers crossed that everything works out OK - sounds like you are in great hands.

    It will be okay! It's probably going to be a long and tiring process but you will get through it. Bring whatever you can that may possibly help you relax
    and feel at home because it's hard to sleep the night before. They will probably offer you ambien, and if you've never taken it before I might suggest you go for Benadryl or something else instead. I took ambien for the first time the night before my first and it didn't make me sleepy. It made me feel weird and kept me awake. I also don't recommend IV drugs. I accepted those as well in an attempt
    to get some sleep and they made me feel weird
    as well and made the baby sleepy. I would hold off on the epidural until you are really in pain so that it doesn't wear off before you need it. Good luck!

    Are there any other issues that warrant induction? if not- I would take it easy and drink tons of water and ask for a recheck- inductions are serious business with a lot that can go wrong, so I would want to know that it's very necessary. A week out seems like a long time for something that can be a real issue.
