Tomorrow is induction day...

and i am not going to lie, i am friggin terrified. We have to get up bright and early tomorrow morning around 6:30 to be into the hospital for 7:30-8:00am. Then i will have to register and head up to labour and delivery for my dose of cervidil. Dont get me wrong i am very excited aswell, i think its just that i have NO idea on what to expect. i just dont want to go in there and walk out again without a baby. Which i doubt is going to happen but i just cant seem to get that idea out of my head. Is that possible? if an induction doesnt work? oh geeze listen to me. Blah. I am just i dont know EAGER. lol wish me luck ladies :)

I think they would take further measures to get the labor going, not send you home...
Try not to be absolutely terrified. I know that's much easier said than done, but trust me, it goes a lot smoother if you're not terrified and at least moderately relaxed throughout labor... Good luck!!!

Congrats girl on being about to hold your baby! I think the fear of delievery happens to almost everyone. When my water broke (2 weeks early I might add) I started bawling and saying, "I'm not ready yet". It really wasn't that bad though. Like the last poster said try to get some rest! You have a big day tomorrow! :)

Feeling terrified is normal in a situation where it is unknown and you are very emotional and hormonal.  You will be fine and the doctors will let you know what is happening and what to expect every step of the way (if not ask).  I think in someways i found the first time easier than i am going to find this time for i had no idea what to expect and i think ignorance is bliss.  This time as i am having a planned c-section (had an emerency c-section last time) i am starting to freak out as i am remembering all the details from last time and know what is comming up next.  I can;t imagine actually walking down the hall to the ooperating theater, at least last time it all happended in a bit of a blur and i was in pain throughout the day so couldn't really concentrate on all the test, prodding, needles, epi etc that was happening.  Good luck and try to focus on the fact that after all this time you are about to meet, touch, cuddle your little one for the first time -  it is such a special moment and one that instantly cancels out all that has just happened before.

Good Luck and dont worry you will do just fine..... I was induced and labored with no pain meds (not saying you should LOL) but its do- able..... and they wont send ya home, they will break your water and that will really get things moving....worse comes to worse if that doesnt get things going (which it will) then will do a C sections, so you will get your beautiful little one, one way or another! Tons of Luck to you!

Good Luck girl! No, I dont think they would send you home! If cervidil(not sure what that is, guessing its some type of induceing med.) doesnt work then you may end up with a c-section. But think + !!!!
