Pitocin, anyone?

Hi everyone,

I had a dr.s appt yesterday, and apparently I'm 4 cm dilated and 100% effaced! I would never have known! Being 38 wks+ pg with twins, and our long commute to the hospital (1.5-2 hrs), they're inducing me on Friday this week. So I'll be enjoying a lovely drip of pitocin. Any thoughts on the stuff? Is it as scary or painful as it sounds? Either way they're recommending an epidural at some point (it can be as light or strong as needed) incase they need to do an emergency cs for baby #2 (both are head down right now...) Then they can avoid a using a general anesthesia.

They may also decide to break my water. Any other suggestions for what to do, eat, not to do, etc. between now and Friday?

thanks!
susan

edd: this friday!
