My 1st was 3 weeks early and 5lb 10oz on his own, my second was never coming out(!!)so we induced on my due date- so I was a bit nervous too since I had had it pretty easy the first go around! Mine went really well, not really much different than my first delivery- checked in early, Dr broke my water at 8am, started Pitocin, contractions were managable, got my epi(and a booster before pushing), started pushing around 2 I think, I had to push a LONG time with both my boys(unlike all my friends who got thru with a few short pushes)- delivered about 3:30-- we(my parents, inlaws & hubby all hung with me until time to push then just hubby) played cards, watched the soaps, talked- kept my mind off it really- all in all mine was a pretty great experience, but my nurses and Dr were amazing too and that sure helps! Best of luck to you, just relax and go with it, know that no matter what at the end you get this beautiful little creature who will love you always(and since I'm partial to boys- give the best hugs and kisses and smiles in the world!)
