Anyone been induced and had unmedicated birth?

Question

I am getting induced tomorrow night at 5, and I am trying to set my mind on not getting an epidural because I really just don’t want one 😅
Anyone been induced and been able to go through labor and delivery unmedicated? I’ve heard it makes contractions 10x worse when you get induced and I’m nervous!

Answer

I got induced with cervidil. 6 hours after cervidil was inserted contractions started at 5 mins apart. I had the absolute worst back contractions, so bad that my husband was literally hovering over me saying “you need to breathe...BREATHE.” Because I was literally holding my breath from pain. The only thing that caused some relief was the tub. I say it cut it down by like 20%, it only helped me relax my muscles a bit. I took no drugs whatsoever - like I said the only “help” I got was the tub
Now idk if that’s “normal” contractions or not since it was my first so I have nothing to compare it to. But I am getting induced in 1 week for baby #2

Answer

My aunt did. She said the contractions were awful and worse than natural contractions, but she didn’t get an epidural.

Answer

I was induced with pitiocon but ended up getting an epidural put in because I was in pain . They stuck me 2x because the first one fell out & the second one starting leaking.  I was in labor for 3 days and had to deliver via c section because baby girl failed to progress . I'm pregnant again 33w and decided im not gonna have the epidural this time around

Answer

My mom did with all 6 of us. No medication and induction. She said it was really painful the contractions were very strong. She went through a lot with all of her pregnancies and still chose each time not to be medicated so you will get over it and make it through!

Answer

I was induced with Pitocin but other than that I still had an unmediated birth

Answer

I had to be put on Pitocin my last baby because my water broke but no contractions. Labor was quick for me but old because she was my 4th baby and I was already 3cm dilated. The contractions didn’t get bad until the very end when I started to feel like I need to push and could feel her like turning in my pelvis. I have a higher pain tolerance too 😬 I think it’s all where you let your mind go. Don’t think about the pain then about what the contractions are doing and how soon you’re gunna meet your baby.
