Overdue and anxious!

Heather
I'm 40+5 days and SO uncomfortable! My induction is scheduled for this Thursday and although I'm so excited to finally meet our little blessing, I'm also so scared! People have told me horror stories of inductions and I'm trying to just focus on my own experience. Any encouraging words out there mommies? We waited SO long to get pregnant (8 years)...so I feel guilty for being scared!

I was induced with my first three. 1st at ten days over, 2nd at two weeks early with elevated bp,3rd at 3weeks early due to maternal depression and weight loss 10lbs in 2 weeks. Each one went very smoothly, my body was ready but it was like it wasn't getting the"ok it's time" signal they all went very quickly. Only snag was with my last one, I had per labor with him for a good week contractions around the clock every 5-10 min. Turns out he was sunny side up and just trying to turn himself so he was a vacuum extraction. I am hoping this one gives the signal soon these last few days have been hard. I would be induced again though. Focus on the outcome, that always cheers me up!
