I was induced with my youngest baby girl and the waiting was the worst.The contractions due to the inducing were terrible but worth it. No epidural was used for either of my girls and I'm onto baby number three hoping for a boy. Good luck you can do it :)

From my experience the IV meds were worthless. They don't work well, wear off quick and make you feel sick and drunk. The epidural worked great for me.

Iw as induced with my first, its a long boring process. First you go.in get check in and changed to a gown, hook u up to monitors etc. Theyll break ur water witch is unpleasant to say the least. Then the start ur Patosin. . Itll taka while to feel anything.happen or thats how it was for.me, theyll be checking.on u etc you cant eat or drink once they get u going so sucky sour cabdy is ur best friend and ice chips. Um u can get the elidural if u wabt i went twn hours without and.my last seven with. Thats up to you, mine hurt baddd putting it in but after i was satisifed and enjoyed my birthing process. Good luck.

I was induced on the 21st and gave birth to my baby boy at 7:17pm. The pitocin does give strong contractions and it hurts I took the epidural. It made for such an easier labor. Best of luck to you

I thought the induction required an epidural because the pitocin causes strong contractions

my best friend was induced last week, I was with her the whole time. Prepare for a long night and make sure you have people around you that can take your mind off of it. you may change your mind about the epidural keep an open mind. I wish you good luck. The worst part is the waiting
