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?

My doctor just said contractions are worse with pitocin if you do natural,  because you are forcing your body into labor.. so your contractions are forced on not natural
