I’m 41 weeks pregnant tomorrow, my induction date is on the 15th and I’m petrified. I’m continually having panic attacks at the thought of it. People have told me to prepare for so much pain as induced labour hurts more than natural labour. My midwife checked my cervix on Wednesday and I couldn’t even handle the pain of that. She is now really worried about me going through induced labour and asked what kind of pain relief I was thinning of taking and she basically told me to get an epidural. That being said I really don’t want an epidural as I have an absolute phobia of needles.

I really don’t know what to do 😭😭😭😭
