Was anyone induced with pitocin and chose NOT to have an epidural?

Question

Answer

Anyone who can get pitocin and NOT get an epidural is freaking INCREDIBLE! Pitocin makes your contractions suck soooooo bad!! 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖

Answer

I tried. I tried HARD. At 5cm I was shaking uncontrollably and couldn't even talk, the contractions were THAT bad. My husband is actually the one who asked them to give me an epidural. 😕 To show the difference, I went into labor with my second (without pitocin) and had no idea I was already 7cm when I got to the hospital, because I renembered what 5cm felt like with my first. It was then I realized how much worse the pitocin had made it! Good luck to you! I know some woman have done it! 😊

Answer

Pitocin hurts really bad!! Everyone I know that has had natural verses pitocin says pitocin makes it way more painful. I'm avoiding pitocin at all costs this time

Answer

Following!  Share your experience please!! I may have to be induced and would really love to not get the epidural if I can!!

Answer

I did so 11 years ago.  I had to get pitocin since I was not dilating fast enough. I had no plans for the epidural so went through 26 hours of labor without it.  I was dilating a cm every 4 hours so after a while, they administered pitocin.

I am planning once again to through with no epidural this pregnancy but hope I can dilate without the help of pitocin, it really makes contractions intense.

Answer

I've had completely natural labor and I've been induced and I can tell you being induced is way more painful than natural labor so you may want to get the epidural. I know I did.

Answer

I had to get pitocin because my water broke and 15hrs later my contractions were still ineffective. I labored in several positions and found sitting on the toilet most comfortable. Yes it was incredibly painful but I survived and I would do it again!
