Induced

I'm due 14th Feb but it's looking like I'm going to be induced either 37-38weeks as baby is tiny but I'd rather have a natural birth as been told being induced is more painful?

Everyone's experience is different. I'm 35 weeks with my second, I was induced at 39 weeks with my first and it was a breeze. They started pitocin at 6 am and let me rest until my doctor got there at 9:30 to break my water. I had my epidural a little after 11 and had her at 2:33! Like I said, everyone has a different experience but I am looking at going the same route because I am already miserable and had such a positive experience the last time. Good luck !

I'm due 4th Feb but I'm due to be induced early next week, I'll be 37 weeks then and the induction is because I'm carrying twins. I've read different people's experiences about induction. Some good and some not so good but I've decided not to scare myself too much about it and just pray mine goes well. Even in natural labor, there are always great stories and horror stories. Every case is different. So don't panic too much. Just make sure you are relax and start getting your body ready before the time so hopefully it'll be over quickly. Go for walks, do light exercises, eat healthy, get plenty of rest and don't overwork yourself. You will be fine. Just put your trust in God. And goodluck on the day.
