I hope they do not do induction, as it is painful. Labor is painful for everyone, but I am told by those who had induction, like me, that it is on average much worse than normal labor. So if there are anesthetics available I hope they give them to her. She will have the best doctors, so giving a caudal anesthesia might not be too bad. I would prefer a caesarian, from talking to women who have had them, if they think the baby is resisting appearing.
I was told that athletic women are more likely to have slow or late labor, because their muscles are "tight"(Catherine has been athletic and active). However, I was unconscious nearly the whole time of induction because of my reaction to the induction drug, which was in a way a blessing, and did not seem to harm the child. I was unconscious totally for ten hours (I had no "forgetfulness drug"). Prayers for Kate, wisdom for doctors.
