Being induced - first time mom

Honey🌚 • 29. Pcos. Married. 👶🏻💙2/22/2020

I will be getting induced on 2/20/2020 at 38 weeks due to chronic hypertension and gestational diabetes (on medications both issues) My March baby will be a February baby 😭 any tips ladies ? I am super nervous. Not looking forward to the pain. I am definitely asking for an epidural once I can’t handle it. Yesterday I was 1 1/2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Hoping I’ll be able to make more progress on my own in the next few days before I go in.
