My first baby was a week early and 7 hours of labor. I am being induced with this one and a little nervous.. I go in tomorrow so they can do something to my cervex and then they induce on Monday. Any advice?

Make sure they are inducing you for a really good reason. It shouldn't be done otherwise. Induced labor is much more painful, and can be started when the baby isn't ready to be born yet. I had a friend that had her baby too soon this way. The only reason they gave her was that they were afraid that the baby was getting too big. The baby is OK now, but they went through hell with all the complications. Research is very important, don't just listen and do what you are told without it. This is only the beginning. You'll have lots more research to do after your baby's born to keep him/her safe. Hope everything works out for you.
