induced natural labor!!

So I just went to the doctor and my midwife checked me..she said I'm not dilated or thinned out..I'm so ready to have this baby..even though I'm not miserable I'm just really anxious..she told me if baby don't come by her due date Friday..I will have to be induced on Monday..i was really looking forward to having a natural labor but if I have to be induced than so be it..I still want to avoid getting the epidural as much as possible. This is my second baby and I didn't have to be induced with the first

Have anyone had an induced labor without an epidural...

Thank you ladies for your input...I don't understand why she wanna induce when I'll only be 3days over due..I believe its because I'm closed tight idk hoping a change happen between now and then

I was induced twice, 1st and 3rd pregnancies. 1st time with epidural. 3rd time without epidural. It was so much better without the epidural. I had my husband and best friend there with me and they distracted me to keep my mind off the pain. From the time my water broke, it only took 30 mins and baby was here. Good luck.

I'm being induced tomorrow and have the same hopes as you. To go through it without an epidural.
