Getting induced tomorrow!

Any tips or advice? I'm 2 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced. I'm pretty nervous because I heard that contractions are way more intense when being induced. My plan is to not get the epidural but I'm not im not ruling it out. I'm 40+6. Any advice would be helpful!

I was induced on Tuesday and the pain got worst when I was dilating from 5 when the doctor broke my water and I got the epidural. I felt my hips opening up really bad pain. Its all worth it when you see the baby!
