Oh man I’m so upset! I was really hoping that it didn’t have to come to this. I really wanted to do it all natural without drugs and now this opportunity will be taken from me. We have to be there tonight by 7pm. I won’t be able to eat after they start the induction process. I took a hypnobirthing class with my husband, which is all for empowering the woman and letting it happen naturally! I wanted to labor at home as long as possible and be only at the hospital for a short period of time. Now we will probably be there for days. On Tuesday I was only 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced, so they will probably start with the cervidil and then move on to the next step.

I’m so scared that I will not be able to handle the pain and give in to further interventions. My ultimate fear is having a c-section!!!

I was so positive throughout my pregnancy and believed that everything would workout. Now I feel like my body is failing me. If anybody has some positive induction stories, I really would like to hear them.

Thanks!
