Being induce

So I'm being induced Sunday and I'm only 1 cm dilated and I'm so afraid of getting a c section because of two reasons I would need to be put to sleep because I can't take the epidural
And The pain after you have a c section scared me just thinking about it

You can always receive pain meds through an IV. It won't numb try he pain like an epidural but it can dull it and make it more manageable. also being induced doesn't mean you'll have a c section. They'll try to deliver vaginal and only perform a c section if complications arise. Congrats on getting to meet your baby soon and good luck!
