Going to be induced in the morning!

I am going to be induced in the morning at 7am and I am excited but really scared. This is my third baby but I am still terrified of the delivery. I had an epidural with my first and everything was great but I didn't get to have one with my second and I was in labor with him for 23 hours with no pain medication. After experiencing that I am terrified now because my doctor told me more than likely I won't be able to have an epidural this time because of my tattoo. My tattoo is huge and they would have to go through it and he told me they more than likely would not do that. So now I am scared of doing this natural again. I hate the not knowing. He said it just depends on the the anesthesiologist who is there at the time so I hate not knowing if I can get one or not.

Well congratulations and good luck with everything... make sure you come back ASAP with all of the details!!!! I'll be praying for an easy labor!!

Best wishes tomorrow!   I hope you have a smooth induction. Congrats.

Good Luck!!! Wishing for the best for ya!

Good Luck! I did not know they couldn't do epidurals because of having a tattoo there. Wishing you a easy labor!

I had heard from some people that you couldn't get one and then some people said that was a myth and you could, but I guess it really just depends on where you are and the anesthesiologist you have. I think usually they can find a place to go through but my tattoo starts at my bra strap and goes all the way to wear my underwear start and there is no bare spot at all, so they would have to go through it. Thank you all for the comments I hope it goes well too!!

Well goodluck! I hope you end up getting the epi   Either way I hope you have a fast & easy labor. annnnnd... i just wanted to say i'm jealous!!! Todays my due date --no baby & no induction date. Your due after me and already going to get to hold your little one   that makes me sad!
