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?

I got a membrane sweep yesterday and since then I've been having contractions and cramps but they aren't too close together. Everytime I get one though I feel like I need to push, kinda like I have to poop, but I cant (sry tmi).... I'm hoping I go into labor all on my own before next Tuesday.  I'm also afraid of being in labor, no epidural getting so far aren't having to have a rented c section...

Lol. Thanks. I'm hoping I can make it. I believe in myself. I am in no way against the epidural and I'm not scared to say I need it if all else fails. I just have to remember my techniques I've learned.
