Darling, don't be scared of the pain - my first was an induction and second completely drug free totally natural waterbirth. The pain is no comparison

My Second All Natural Water Birth

Mentally preparing yourself is important, understanding the reasons behind your induction to prevent it happening again (I too was GBS + first time and opted the second time to have a douche vs anti-biotics but the second time it came back negative)

I did a Calm Birth course which explained the physiological process of birth and explained why people feel pain as well as great strategies to deal with it. I also found that Birth Skills by JuJu Sundin to be immensely helpful and worked in beautifully with Calm Birth.

My best advice is to get in the right head space and spend time every day visualising your ideal birth. Get onto Calm Birth, get a copy of Birth Skills and start making time every day for yourself to practice everything so it's second nature on the day.

OH - and if possible, go through a Birthing Centre vs hospital. It's a very different experience!

Good luck honey!!!
