I was induced and I'm actually glad I was but I felt the same way as you. I can't imagine being in that pain while trying to get to the hospital. I got the epidural and it was a life savor. It hurt less than the IV did! Dkbt be scared about that.

Omg yes im a baby with needles. Every time i had my blood drawn id come out crying and freaking out lol. And they usually wait till you have a contraction to do it anyway. So that it wont hurt so much. And i think i was 7 cm dialated. Im not even sure. And aftr the epi you just feel so relaxed. Litrally 30 min. Aftr the epi i pushed my baby boy out.but everyone is diffrent.

They gave me the epi during a contraction. And i didnt feel a thing. I just stayed still and hugged a pillow my husband held me still and it was done. The worst thing was deff. The contractions. Theyre horrible.

Are you going to get the epidural?? I have a one yr old & im 6 weeks pregnant currently. With my son i got the epidural and it was fast, easy , and painless. Just remember to stay calm and breathe. The more of a big deal you make it the more difficult it is. I heard the people in rooms around me screaming and yelling and it just makes you more nervous. Good luck
