Induce or Nah?

Sierra

This will be my third baby. With my son I was 17 and it was super unexpected. I was 39 weeks when I went into labor and I barely got to the hospital in time to get an epidural (baby daddy thought I was being dramatic and didn’t want to drive me). I got there and an hour later started pushing, pushed for 20 minutes and he was here. 7 pounds 2 ounces, he completely changed my life. My daughter though. I was induced at 39 weeks because I kept having seizures (I have epilepsy) and it was sooo much harder. I went in that morning around 9. And she wasn’t here until around 6. I still only pushed for about 45 minutes but I was in pain allllll daaaay. Now my doctor is asking me if I think I’ll want to be induced or not. Did anyone else decide to be induced and have a decent experience? Or is it just going to be a whole day awful thing if I’m induced? Obviously labor sucks regardless but it’s a choice that has to be made 😂
