I had the same birth plan as you. But my son was always bigger than he was supposed to be measuring so they had to induce me too. They did it by membrane sweep. And I literally was asking my fiancé to kill me because my contractions were making it so hard for me to breathe. I was in labor for 18 hours. So imagine how it would've been if I didn't get the epidural.. I of course had to be put on pitocin as well because I wasn't dilating fast enough.. I mean I was way off my birth plan lol. But I really needed sleep and I wanted to enjoy the last few moments I had with my son in my belly. Thank God me and my son are both healthy to this day. As I hope you and you baby will be. ❤️️ It'll be okay, I promise. You'll get past all the critics and focus on what's best for you and your child

thank you @itsjasmine I just felt bad cause my MIL mentioned how she gave birth to all of her kids without it and I told her I tried my best

Hey don't be too hard on yourself! What's important is that you and your baby are okay 💕
