I’m gonna be induced tomorrow! Was just wondering, epidural... yes or no?

Question

Answer

I was induced with my first baby and just had my second baby regular (no induction.) in my opinion, contractions were the same as far as pain. If you feel you need the epidural, ask for it! Don’t feel shamed

Answer

They say that when you get induced the contractions are much worse and stronger than if you were to go into labor without it. So def get it !

Answer

I was induced: foley bulb and pitocin.. Originally I wasn’t sure about getting an epidural, have been told many times I take pain well. Best advice I can give anyone: get it!! It (usually) lets you rest and prepare for pushing and then taking care of your new addition! Good luck Mama!

Answer

I plan to just wait and see what happens, I want to go without, but girl if it hurts that bad I’m taking the drugs !

Answer

I'm being induced tomorrow and haven't decided either. I think yes but I'll probably wait until things get uncomfortable. I ended up needing one with my first and had a hard time sitting still for it. I'm kind of hoping I could go without this time but I also remember being sooooo much more comfortable with it and so I'm torn. I was walking right after birth the first time so it wasn't like I was totally debilitated from having it. My other thought is just in case I need an emergency c section it would be better to have epidural in place than to have to try and get a spinal midway through labor or do general anesthesia.

Answer

Its up to you hun... it doesnt make you less of a mommy if you do or dont :) if you feel like u want it definitely  get it

Answer

I can honestly say having normal labour pains over induced pains are totally different and are not the same at all. I could cope with my normal labour but been induced i couldnt handle it 1 bit! Iv been induced one and had 2 normal labours

Answer

With my first baby, I went into labor naturally and had terrible contractions. Mostly back labor and got an epidural with her. With my second baby, I was induced and the contractions weren’t bad at all but I still decided for an epidural due to the fact that I wouldn’t be able to get one if I changed my mind. My second labor was a breeze!
