Yeah, pitocin is what causes the contractions. Breaking my water should have started them, but he was stubborn and didn't want to come lol. I ended up breaking down and getting the epidural around 3-4. Contractions were insane and I wasn't progressing at all really. Only dilated like 2cm from 8am to when I got the epidural. 2 hours into the epidural and I was ready to push lol. But I'm 32 weeks tomorrow, so the anxiety is starting to kick in haha.

It's different for everyone. I got induced! it was almost 8 hours of period like cramping before they. role my water. Then I had hours of really really strong contractions. but honestly I wasn't in a ton of pain (I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain). in total I was in labor for 26 hours. but my mother in law was induce and had her baby 3 hours later.

the pitocin is only for being induced right? you wasn't on any epidural? & lol how far are you? @evococa

I was induced with my son. Honestly, it wasn't bad. I went in the night before, the next morning they started by breaking my water and an hour later started pitocin. By 7 that night he was out. Labor hurts no matter what, but I can't say it's more or less painful than natural seeing as I had no means of comparison. I think being induced was less scary than worrying about what to do if I went into labor on my own--I'm stressing with this baby about when she'll decide to come and what I'm supposed to do haha.

So start walking darling and be positive

@claudia07, I hope she comes , I got the letter yesterday.. I really don't want that .

Your baby can always come . I gave birth the same day they, gave me the letter saying I was going to get induce the following week
