Coping With Labor-Related Fears

I've had three kids and had labor induced all three times. With my first child I was given a sapository, with my second child who was 8 days late, my water was manually broken to induce the hard labor (boy was that fun!), with my third, I chose the day I wanted to give birth and went to the hospital that day and was given a labor inducer drug. That was okay until the labor pains came so fast and hard and painful that I had to have a 'spinal' just so I would dilate. That was fun too. One way or another babies do make it into this world.

I think this is a really helpful article. My first baby was induced so I didn't know what to expect with the second. In the end my water broke while I was in the bath tub at home dilating about 2-3 cm.
