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 went in with my first pregnancy and was already 3 cm dialated, they automatically started pitocin and kept me on it for about two hours but my body was progressing really well so they stopped the pitocin IV after only two hours and my body naturally dialated the rest of the way. But I got the epidural! Good luck! :)
