Birth/labor anxiety

I’m 35 weeks 4 days with my 2nd. My water broke at 35 weeks with my first and my labor was quick (8 hrs) but I had unbearable back labor and I wasn’t able to get epidural until I was at a 10 because the guy just took that long lol.

I’m starting to have bad fear and anxiety about the pain of labor the closer I get to the end. I feel any discomfort and I start to almost panic. The plan is to induce me at 38 weeks and idk what that’s like and I’m terrified.

Any advice?
