Induction

juana

Hello I’m 38 week and being induced as we speak. My RN just told me they won’t start Pitocin unless I have a epidural catheter placed. I’m trying for a Vbac. Is this normal? I was under the impression they couldn’t make me have an epidural unless I asked. Why would they bring me in to be induced if they can’t even start the process. Please help I had a very traumatic first induction that lead to caesarean. I cannot go thru that again.
