Arrrggghhhh!!!
Had to phone yesterday to see what time I had to go in and after being put on hold for ages and being passed about I was told that I couldn't go in for the induction as they were full. Got really miffed and had a little (well not so little) cry as was so worked up about it.
I was told to go in for monitoring in the afternoon though, which I did. When I went in I was put on a ward with 3 other ladies, one was having contractions, which I timed at 15 mins apart, another was having a chat to the doc about her baby being too small and the other had really high blood pressure. I was a bit like the odd one out as I was fine.
The mw was lovely and apologised for what had happened but they had some ladies come in 'naturally' which obviously take priority.
When I was hooked up to the monitor I could do nowt but laugh as the heartbeat sounded really weird and I decided that it sounded like punching a baboon,
I kept losing it after that and was giggling so much that the monitor lost the heartbeat and we had to start again. The other ladies in the ward didnt seem too impressed with my giggles! Oh dear!
Anyway, have to go back for more monitoring today with a view for the induction tomorrow, at least now I've calmed down a bit and am not as nervous anymore, well saying that, ask me later tonight!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got my induction booked for tomorrow and am really nervous, not slept properly for the last 2 nights, well not that I've slept properly in weeks and weeks, but has been even worse.
Just feel that things have kinda been forced upon me now and I know that I'm gonna have a long long labour, dunno why but I can feel it in my bones.
I also know that when hubby has to go home from hospital and leave me there alone I'll be really upset.
Is this really daft, as I know that it means meeting LO after all this time, but still....
Aarggghhhh, think I've had too much time to think things to death!

I think I would feel the same way about having an induction date. Try to remember that even if it's a long labour, it will end and you'll be holding your little one relatively soon. You don't have to be brave either...take what pain relief you need to get through it. It will be so worth it in the end. Try to relax in whatever way that works for you...nice long bath, massage from OH before you go to bed tonight. Hope you get some rest!

Good luck for tomorrow 
At least you aren't so nervous now
