I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and being induced tomorrow due to cholestasis.
This is my second induction as I wad induced with my daughter at 42 weeks.
my first experience of labour was magnificent so I am so worried and apehensive about this one.
I am so scared to wake up tomorrow im that nervous that labour is going to be alot worse this time. Especially being induced weeks earlier than previously. Anybody as worried as me?:(

Oh good luck - I was induced when I was 39 weeks, and had a magnificent experience. I'm now 40 weeks with DC2, and like you I am apprehensive about this one - it is so unknown.
What helps me is thinking that although it won't be the same as last time, it will still be an adventure. I felt totally blown away afterwards by the whole thing, and although I have no idea what this one will bring, it's probably going to be thrilling (among other things!). I told my sister that DD's birth was like running the marathon, tough but exhilarating. In real life I would prob never run a marathon as I would just give up, I don't have that much self discipline. But in labour you can't, so you go with it and I'm sure you'll be in awe of what you can do.
What made your first labour so awesome? Are there bits you are excited about experiencing again?
I'm currently bouncing on my ball hoping to get things started, fingers crossed we could both have our babies tomorrow! Best of luck x
