Getting Induced Next Week and 36 Week PIP

I am getting induced at 37 weeks because my baby isn't growing like she should. Only in the 22nd percentile this week. She's healthy otherwise, but she will be tiny! I am nervous because she's going to be forced out and my body doesn't feel ready. I don't even know what BH feels like!!

Here I am at 36 weeks:

Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Don't worry---I was induced also, it's not as bad as everyone says!  Yes the contractions come on quicker and stronger then if you went naturally --and your risk of c-section goes up (mine ended in a c-section)---but you're usually able to get an epi quicker if you were induced. 

    Contractions feel like period cramps times 100.  They start as mild period like cramps and slowly get MORE and more intense.  I didn't cry or scream at all (but i definitely was in pain!) and I went 6hrs without drugs before I got an epi or anything--so it's all about your pain tolerance!'

    GL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am in also getting induced next friday at 37 weeks. I am being induced due to my baby having gastroschisis. Good Luck! I am also very nervous about the contractions, but I will get an epidural as soon as they become too intense! I hope your induction goes as smooth as an induction can go!
