Induction preparation
So turns out I am being induced next week some time due to some medical concerns, I’ll be 37 weeks on Saturday. What are some things you guys did to prepare or to help calm your nerves? I’m a FTM and I don’t know what to expect or anything and I feel like i’m mentally panicking.

I was induced with both pregnancies and they were both very different experiences but both good! Both times I got the epidural and my babies got here safely and it was great! You’ll be absolutely fine !
Be prepared for nothing to go correctly on your birth plan. I just had my induction on 10/28 and had 2 panic attacks because things didnt go how i planned. So i guess I'm just saying, be open minded and educate yourself on all the scenarios (vaginal vs c section, etc) and trust your doctors. I ultimately HAD to trust my doctors and they didnt let me down. I think there can be a lot of scary info and kind of idea out there that doctors arent always to be trusted but just trust in your care team and you will get through it.

Its all going to be okay! It helped me to pray and leave it all to God and just thinking about my baby’s sweet face that was going to get me through it
