Your doc has given the right advice. They will induce you by giving injections. It is safe and you will be closely monitored. The nature of delivery and its final process cannot be predicted since it is completely subjective and depends on the mother in labour. Episiotomy is a very common minor procedure done to ensure that there are no tears when the baby is coming out. Do not stress. The more you stress the more your muscles will tense up. Go with the flow. Any form of delivery is fine as long as both mom and baby are healthy

Most of it has been answered well by Dr Shilpitha... Most importantly you should prepare yourself by either taking some labor classes or check on you tube for breathing techniques during labour and ball exercises which are very helpful during labor.. Also episiotomy can be avoided in selected cases where a natural small tear (which heals better and faster than episiotomy) or no tear is anticipated...

1) induction is done by IV infusions and p/v tablets for cervicle softening.. there will gradual increase in contractions.. not a sudden onset..<br> 2) episiotomy is done to avoid any kind of perineal tear, nowadays it is a ritual to follow in every labor..<br> 3) Hospital bag!!! <font color ="#3b5998"><b><a href="http://app.babychakra.com/article/41">Essential items to pack in your hospital bag!</a></b></font> , <font color ="#3b5998"><b><a href="http://app.babychakra.com/article/1248">Those things about Labor that you always were curious about</a></b></font> , <font color ="#3b5998"><b><a href="http://app.babychakra.com/article/1334">Why are women scared of Labor?</a></b></font> <br> 4) Regular brisk walks, kegels, squattings..
