Induction Anxiety

I don’t know how the heck you’re supposed to sleep before you’re induced. It’s like now that I know there’s an actual end date coming in the next week, I just lay here thinking about all the things I need to do this week. I drink magnesium and do yoga before bed but the insomnia is definitely getting worse.
