Induction?

Have any of you ever had to get induced at the end of your pregnancy? I'm 39 weeks on Tuesday and they're going to induce me because im measuring at 42 1/2 weeks. Very swollen in my lower extremities. But it's not preclampsia. I am definitely feeling miserable, hard to sleep and move now. She's taking up so much room! I'm scared about the pain from being induced and choosing to go all natural. I am 26 and this is my first child.

I was induced with my three and the last one went so quickly I did not have time for the epidural and the after affects were not as bad as I thought. Go on How long it is taking!

I was induced with three of my children and those are the ones I got epidurals with. It is more painful and I suggest doing some natural induction techniques before your set induction. If you do get induced it may not be as bad because everything is different for every woman.
