Answer

I've had a baby come on his own & been induced with one. Comparing the two.. The labor with baby that came on his own timing was much better. Pitocin tends to make contractions stronger. I won't ever be induced again. Not that it isn't bearable, because it is. Obviously, I'm still here. BUT just letting nature take its course, (unless medically necessary) is much better. In my particular case anyways.

Answer

Mine was horrid, but more due to the neglectful care I received. 
Hope all goes well.

Answer

Thanks everyone 😊

Answer

I was induced at 39 weeks because I was so terribly uncomfortable.  I could barely walk.

I found the pitocin bearable and having my water broken was painless. When my contractions picked up, I asked for,  and received, an epidural.

If my baby had not been so large (10 lbs, 21.5"), my delivery would have been great.  As it was,  I had an episiotomy,  40 stitches,  vacuum assist, and a ton of blood loss.  None of that had to do with the induction.  In fact,  had I gone to 40 weeks or beyond,  I would have had terrible perineum trauma AND an emergency c section.  (My doctor was not good.)

Don't fear induction.  It's fine.
