My doctor is inducing me at 38 weeks if baby doesn’t come on her own by then due to too much amniotic fluid.

What are your experiences with being induced? I had initially wanted a medicine free birth but it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting that. Will I want or need an epidural? Will I still be able to give birth squatting or on all fours like I wanted or will I be confined to a bed during the whole experience?

Also how exactly does one get induced is it just a drug or is there more to it?

If I get induced and it doesn’t work will I have to get a csection, or will they continue trying or try again at a later date?

I probably have more questions but that’s all I can think of. I’m sure most of my questions seem silly but I’m genuinely curious since this is my first baby and I had initially expected my water to break and go in to have a baby that way.

Thanks!
