Induction without epidural

[Mommyofjonas]

hello mommas,
I am a ftm, I would like to know if any of you had an induction without taking the epidural. Was it too painful?

I was induced with pitocin first time round, I wish I'd taken the epidural for a number of reasons, but mostly, it was much more painful and long than my 2 natural deliveries. I would be much more open to the idea if I needed to be induced again. I would say to be very aware of it as an option, especially if progress is slow, I was delerious with the pain, my natural labour experiences were much more positive.

I was doing fine without pitocin. Unfortunately, they had to give me it because my water broke and I wasn't dilating fast enough. It made the contractions unbearable for yself and I have a very high pain tolerance. So I ending up getting the epidural. Very sad I did because 30 minutes later I ended up pushing
