Someone told me that alot of times they like to wait or you should wait until your about 5 cm. dialated because the epidural can slow things way down if given to early

Just got in relaxed. (Try at least lol) but induction just gets your labor started and makes sure your body is labor is progressing at a good pace. Your body could naturally get you through it after the start of induction but some ppls Bodies need a little push
