I’m sorry I know these posts can be repetitive but I’d rather ask than search.

My first pregnancy ended in an all natural unmedicated birth. 11 days early. It was a great experience. Very quick too. I was hoping for a similar experience.

Due to Covid-19 my doctor says he is inducing all of his patients at 39 weeks. I was hoping to go into labor naturally early again but now I’m getting nervous I may end up getting induced.

I went into my first birth completely unprepared and just listening to my body, and it worked out great. But i fear if I end up getting induced, I’ll have a longer labor and it may end up being more stressful.

What are things you did to help with pain management or to keep yourself occupied during long labors? The goal is no epidural.
