Which is why I won't get induced before 41 weeks. But it may not turn into a c section I've known tons of people including myself who have been inclduced and they didn't have c sections. Just remember to stay calm so you don't stress you and baby out during. Switch positions a lot and breath through the contractions don't fight them it will make them so much worse. But to get ready all you really can do is walk squats and sex. Oh and when being induced I suggest not laboring on your back its already an awful position to labor in but being induced you can be more likely to tear

A lot of women don't go into labor until 41-42 weeks.
