In hospital for pre-induction, tomorrow induction. Terrified!

Hi! Currently 40+4, second baby. First born 39+1, waters broke at night but had to be induced. Labour was veeeery long and painful. Now lying in hospital bed after being pre-induced drug free way (catheter with balloon at the end of it anyone knows), tomorrow morning proper induction. I can't keep calm. I miss my DD1 already and I'm terrified and really wanted to avoid induction this time round.
I guess just looking for some positivity and reassurance here 🤷‍♀️

Hi @emma, no, the 'balloon' thing fell out after couple of hours and now they'll start proper induction in an hour or so 😬
