getting induced today

I am extremely terrified of labor I broke down in my doc office today. I'm so afraid I don't think I could do it. I saw a birth video on induction and it scared the **** out of me. I get induced today at 7:30 =/ since i'm 41w+1d wish me luck i'm gonna need it. I hope its quick and doesn't take forever. I still can't believe i'm gonna be a mommy I I looked forward seeing my baby girl but so afraid of the pain.

Four hours from start to finish :) I actually liked getting induced because I don't like surprises and going into the unknown LoL! It seemed easier because everything was paced out and expected. The worst part for me was the IV everything else was a walk in the park!

I was induced with my baby girl 8 weeks ago and it wasn't bad at all! I seriously felt no pain....ever! They gave me my epidural as soon as I started feeling contractions. I only labored for four hours and pushed for 15 minutes. It was my first baby too :) you will do great! Having a baby wasn't anything like I thought it would be. People make it sound way worse and scarier than it actually is. I'd do it all over again today if I had to!

Good luck hun! Try to relax, stay calm and just breathe through it. Just focus on one contraction at a time and try not to think too far in advance, take it as it comes one second at a time! Xoxo
