Does inducing labor hurt worse?

Question

I am inducing on the 21st. I want to do it completely natural without an epidural, but this is my first labor but I have no idea what it is going to be like. Is inducing labor hurt worse? I have heard it both ways! 
Also, for the women who have given birth natural, any advice to help with pain?

Answer

Oh heavens yes! Sorry but those pitocin contractions are no joke. Only time I asked for any meds (and then ended up with an epidural) was when I was induced. My other labors came naturally and I didn’t need any medication.

Answer

I’ve heard because your body isn’t necessarily ready for it and they’re forcing your body to do it that it hurts much much more.

Answer

Pitocin makes labor hurt a lot worse. Every time I think about it I think it's so weird how women use to give birth only when their bodies were ready and now with modern day medicine we do all we can to get baby to come out

Answer

I had both my children naturally. My first was born in her amniotic sack so it was such an easy labour. My last pregnancy my water broke but wasn’t progressing so after 8 hrs I needed to be induced due to infection. He was a month early. It was hell - I ain’t gna lie - but I did it naturally as well. With this child I plan to go natural as well.
