39th Week Check Up

At my 39 week gynae visit on 6 August (Thur), Dr Tan instructed me to stop my Fraxiparine jabs and get admitted the next day to be induced. I have heard that induction is generally more painful and takes longer than if the contractions come naturally or one's water bag bursts, so this kind of scared me a bit.

Me: Being induced would be more painful right?

Dr Tan: But you have opted for epidural on demand what.
(Means painful la, I think)

Me: And induction takes longer than waiting for it to come naturally?

Dr Tan: Yes, generally. So how, you want to wait or induce?

Me: I think induce la. It's quite uncomfortable already.

The thought of it was enough to scare me. What if my labour lasted for more than 20 hours type???
