It is definite that I am going in Wed night to start Cervadil and then Thurs morn pitocin. I am excited, scared, afraid, nervous and a thousand other things all at te same time! I hate the unknown. Is it going to be painful, will the epidural work, will I get too tired and need a Csection and the list goes on. My mind is whirling and I am starting to freak out a bit.... Ok maybe more than a bit :-). Please tell me that I am completely normal and not a nutcase as I sure do feel like one right now

If I could have walked around, the pain would have been comptely manageable. But, my BP was "yucky" and I had to stay in bed. The epidural didn't work for me 100%, but if you tell them that it's not, they'll adjust it. GL!!
Totally normal - and the best way to combat it, is to make sure the nurses know how nervous you are about everything when you get there. The nurses really are your best defense, and they'll help you and your "partner" to get through all that.
Yes, is will hurt. Labor does, but it's part of the process, and as long as you can get your self to unwind inbetween the contractions, you should be ok... don't be afraid to take the epidural, it won't slow down labor (some say it does, but from what I've read they can't prove that it's the epidural that did it) If you are worried, you can ask to start with a low dose epi, and if you need a higher dose ask for it. (some hospitals will let the mom control the dose.)
FX it all goes well! Good luck!!
