Being induced worse than natural labor?

Question

I am being induced on thursday, November 17th. I was originally due for November 4th with my babygirl.
Trying to educate myself as I am curious if being induced is harder, longer than going natural- or if thats just a rumor.
Everybody has different bodies, but im still curious!
Stories appreciated!
How far along were you, how long did it take? Was it bad? Worse than your natural labor you might have had? Maybe you have ONLY ever been induced, whats your experience??
Thanks ladies! 💓👣

Answer

Both mine were inductions and both were fine. 1st @ 40W. They broke my water, pitocin, epidural at 5cm. 5 hours of labor & baby here. 2nd @ 38w. They placed cervidil inside for couple nights, then my water broke on its own. 3 hours of labor & baby here. Contractions tend to hurt no matter what. So just know your options/methods for managing pain.

Answer

Nothing to compare it to as only ever been induced, but I found the contractions painful and was glad for an epidural

Answer

I was induced with my daughter at 39 weeks. I wasn't dilated at all. I started the whole process on a Sunday night and had my daughter Tuesday first thing in the morning. On Monday night I was only dilated 1 or 2 cm and my Dr said he could either send me home and we could try again in a few days or he could break my water. I told him to break my water and that's when everything picked up. All in all I didn't mind the whole experience. It was nice being in the hospital the whole time and always being updated about how I was doing. I don't want to do it again this time only because it took so long for me and don't want to be away from my daughter for that long. If I ended up needing to be induced again I wouldn't really mind though, I just might have a toddler sleeping in the hospital bed with me haha

Answer

I was induced with my first at 39 weeks. I was not dilating and only a little thinned out. I stared pitocin at 8am, I got the epidural at 11am (I was 3cm), and I had my daughter at 453pm same day.

Answer

With my first child he came naturally and I did not get an epidural. With my second child long story short is they had to induce me and I still did not get an epidural. Pain wise there is definitely a huge difference in my opinion. I didn't need forceps or a vacuum to help get him out but the intensity is much different

Answer

When they started my induction I was already 5cm and 80%... I was on the lowest dose and was up to 10cm and 100%(after they broke my water) in about 5hrs... has your body naturally progressed any?
