In Labor !! Scared

Im 37 weeks and 3 days nd went into last night. I finally decided to go to hospital at 11 am. The admitted me but I was only 3 centimeters. I got the epidural at 4 centimeters. I have no urges to push nd my water has yet to break so the doctors going to do it. Do u think I will it wen she breaks it? Nd I'm extremely nervous that my epidural will run out bout time it's ready to push. Im only 5 centimeters dilated nd I been here for 8 hours . :(

You usually don't have the urge to push until you're ready. I was 7 cm when my body wanted me to push, I had to hold back but jumped right up to 9.5  cm in 20 minutes! Dr let me push with the nurse at that point. As for breaking your water, my Dr broke mine at 4-5 cm.
