I didn't use it start labor, I was already in labor but they used pitocin to speed everything up. I didn't notice a real difference other than I started dilating quicker. Then the epidural, then they broke my water.
I went natural with all my kids but I want a epidural this time
I did. it wasn't bad at all. I had a natural birth but the few contractions I had right before my son was born were painful...
Don't be. I'm actually glad they did it or I would have been in labor much longer.
