pitocin?
I'm having to get induced on Tuesday and I'm planning on NO epidural. For those of you who were induced, did they just break your water, or did they automatically start pitocin... I've taken so many natural birthing classes and I'm gonna be very disappointed if I can't do it, because I know pitocin makes contractions so much worse....? Anyone?
Your welcome. I know the last like 3 minutes of pushing I started saying I couldn't do it then my mom said she had a lot of hair (daughter) I didn't even know she was crowning so I got it back together and got her out in 2 more good strong pushes. So you just gotta have a good communicating support system and the mentality that the pain will go away. It literally disappears immediately as the baby is out. And if you tear or have to get cut there is so much going on you probably won't feel it. I tore and was so amazed by seeing my daughter that I didn't feel the dr numb me to stitch me up because he didn't have a chance to numb me to cut me before I tore.
My sister in law got the epidural and it ended up slowing her down and she had to get a c section. If that kinda eases your mind.
@Mrsrobb, thank you so much!! You have no idea how happy it makes me to just hear one person say they didn't feel much of a difference. I know it's gonna hurt like hell, it's supposed too. I'm having a baby. So I know pain will be intense, but its also normal to be in pain when you are in labor. And yes It mostly is mental. Thank u again.
Oh I don't have to have a c section, I'm just worried I'll be in labor forever with no epidural and have to get one after all that pain lol. Idk I'm just worried at the last minute I'll have to get one.
I asked my sister (went on her own with her first induced with second natural births for both) and she said she didn't feel much of a difference. And if they really are worse then this time I'm looking at easier delivery lol but just remember your techniques. I didn't do any classes or anything, just knew if every woman in my family can go natural then I can too and I did. Plus I have a high pain tolerance but it's really all mental.
My water broke at hone n since i wasnt contraction at the hospital they gave me pitocin n they kept raising the dose n after about 2 hours i had to have the epidural because the contractions hurt
