Induction and pain meds?

Question

Just curious as to how many women who originally planned to go without drugs managed to do it while being induced?

Answer

I did induction with no pain meds or anything, also 2 other natural labors with no pain meds.

Answer

I was planning on no pain meds, but after over 12 hours of pitocin at the max dose and still being stuck at a 2, I took the epidural. It was the best choice I made.

Answer

I got pain meds but once they said they were gonna use pitocin I said give me the epi 1st lol

Answer

I was induced twice. The first was a water leak, I used pain meds until I couldn't any longer. I did go for the epidural, but it didn't work. So it was all natural because they stop giving pain meds after you get to a certain dialation. With my second, my water broke completely. No contractions, had to be induced again. I had the same plan, but was not going to get the epidural. I ended up having to get the epidural because I had to have a cesarean. He turned completely sideways.

Answer

My waters broke with no contractions so had to be induced.
I used a tens machine to start when the thing (not sure what it is called) was placed inside my va ja ja 😂 to start me.
It got me to about 6cms but contractions kept fading so they had to give me that Picton stuff. 
My god when the contractions started from that I was begging for an epidural even though it was in my birth plan I didn’t want it. 
They gave me gas and air which helped, until contractions were on top of each other and pushing. 
I pushed for 3 hours, ended up being rushed to theatre for spinal block and forceps as he was back to back. 
All I can say is..... spinal block amazing and I will be having an epidural from word go next time, no way I’m not sleeping and being in labour for 36hours next time 😂 xx

Answer

I went in at 9pm got cervadil inserted by 9:30 and contracting back to back with 90 second long contractions. I was throwing up from the pain and not dilating. I got iv meds but it only made me sleepy. For some  reason I was forced to lay back in the bed and that’s what broke me. I begged for an epidural which I received at 3:20am and Was only dilated to a 3. It was heaven I was able to sleep. I started to push the booster around 9 am but I was able to feel a ton of pain/pressure in my left butt cheek. The anesthesiologist came in and gave me more which didn’t work and my dr decided to turn it off. I went from 11 to birth at 2:41pm with no medicine. And honestly it wasn’t that bad. My nurse was different and so supportive! She helped tremendously.
