Had an induction with no epidural?

Question

Hey I am being induced, and I had my second baby natural, I was wanting to attempt it again but I was wondering how bad it would be to be induced with no epidural?

Answer

It gets pretty intense, but so would a birth that’s not being induced. I say go in with an open mind, because inductions can go a lot of different ways. I went in with the mindset that I wanted to get as far as I felt I could naturally (while being induced) but I’d feel confident in tapping out if I came to it, and it did hahaha.

Answer

I tried very hard to not get the epidural when I was induced but when I got the IV pain meds and I was so high but still feeling everything, I said fuck it and got it. I don’t know that they did it right honestly because around the end before my c-section that shit was straight PAINFUL.

Answer

It will be more painful.. buttt once you get the epidural there is no point of being induced.. epidural prolongs things.. it took me 3 days to have my baby.. I wish I knew I would of just did the epidural at a later time..

Answer

Induction without epidural was horrible. I tapped out after six cm

Answer

I have been induced 3 times and never had an epidural just because I was more scared of the needle going in my back lol. It gets very painful but you can do it.

Answer

I have had 4 inductions first had an epidural. Delayed my progress and lead to issues. My three other inductions two I did natural and the third I had saline injections (never again, didn’t help just made me feel like I was getting repeatedly stung by a bee)

Answer

If you don’t use Pitocin, it helps immensely. I was induced with Cervidil with my daughter. It didn’t help me progress any, so my OB broke my water. I labored 12 hrs after that. OB pressured me to try Pit but my daughter was fine, I was fine. I knew Pitocin would really ramp things up. I trusted my body and had taken a childbirth class prior to unmedicated birth, so I held onto that. Had baby or I ever been in distress I would have gone with more interventions, but we weren’t. You can definitely do it, just educate yourself on ways to manage the pain.
