To feel petrified and devastated by induction

New poster to Mumsnet and really would appreciate positive experiences re induction.
At 41 wks + 2 I am scheduled for an induction tomorrow and feel hugely negative about it. I know that people have real problems and that this is, in the scheme of things, utterly minor and ridiculous but I am quite simply devastated by the loss of any semblance of control that I associate with induction.
This is my second child, first was assisted delivery after spontaneous labour. I found it tough enough but coped pretty well up until decision making ability was taken out of my hands. Feel that it's gone already and I am in a bit of a state.

PinkSchmoo - I am so happy for you! Smile

Congratulations for going through with it when you were so afraid. You have a beautiful baby son to reward you for your courage.

I got home in time for breakfast, and I could have eaten at least three "Full Englishes" by the time I got there, but I was just too tired to eat more than one!

So glad you fought a few demons to the death as well.

A Smile and Smile again moment for me or MN.
