i hear you being over pregnancy. hugs to you. my only input would be from my own experience. i had my first 2 babies naturally, went into labour naturally, no intervention at all, no pain relief. then with oscar i was over the whole pregnancy - had a very difficult pregnancy etc. i decided to be induced. for me it was the worst decision i have made. i ended up with an emergency c-section and the whole labour felt wrong. i really believe this woud have been avoided if i had let nature take it's course. i really regret being induced and if i could do it over would have waited the extra couple of days/weeks and had a much more pleasent birthing experience.
that's just my story, good luck with your decision

I can imagine your anxiety especially with your history of miscarriages etc. I know I was desperate to have my baby and I didn't have those worries that you have.
However, I was induced at 41 weeks and it wasn't a nice experience. The contractions were severe straightaway and then I ended up having an emerg c/s as I wasn't dilating fast enough and the baby was at risk. So I would seriously consider it carefully.
Have you thought about acupuncture? It can relax you and halp bring labour on naturally.
