Help! Natural 1st birth, sceduled indluction second birth stories pls??

Question

Hey mummas, 
My first birth with my son in 2020 was natural and LONG (38+ hours).
I hsve gestational diabetes and am sceduled to be induced in 5 days, can i have some induction stories please if you've done both natural and induced births? Good or bad.
I've been told its way more intense, i back laboured with my first birth, used gas&air and showers for pain relief and honestly I'm shitting myself now! 
Cheers xx

Answer

I was induced, total labor from start of induction to a baby in my arms was 6 hours and 50 minutes and a very positive experience!

Answer

I had gestational diabetes too, they only do and induction if the babies size may be bigger (they checked two weeks before he was due) he was the right size but I continued with the induction plan because I was scared of having a c-section. I wish someone told me induction was worse then naturally going into labour.. contractions were pretty much constant and unbearable. I had gas and couldn’t cope so gave in and asked for a morphine shot. I was terrified of getting an epidural, the idea of a big needle in my spine 😩 
I’m 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and determined to go into labour naturally without pitocine. I am considering doing the morphine shot again as it did shorten the peaks of contractions and made pushing a breeze. I was up and walking around easily after my first born was delivered just needed to shower as I threw up 5 times from the adrenaline. But going through the horrible day I know I can get through naturally 💪🏻

Answer

I had a  natural first birth with my son and was induced at 41+3 with my daughter. For my induction, all they did was break my water and then my body went into labour on it's own. I laboured for 13 hours the first time, 5 hours the second time, and pushed for 10 minutes with each. No pain meds, and both births were a positive experience (even though I was disappointed to not have an all natural birth the second time). 
Work with your care team and let them know your concerns so they can adjust accordingly.  Good luck!
