Yes it does bring stronger contractions I could tell the difference comparing my last labor (no induction) with my first. My second I didnt know I was truly in labor. But I was able to take the pain better without the induction this time around.

Thank you for replying :) i want to ask for the epidural before they actually start the induction so hopefully there wont be too much pain.ive also heard that induction brings stronger and more painful contractions

I had an induction with my first...It was a very beautiful experience I didn't have an epidural but I'm not going to lie it did hurt. An induction is totally safe.
