I was in labor with pitocin for over 26 hours, I only went from a 2 to a 3 and ended up having a c-section because my water had been broken for too long and my son was at risk for infection. the pitocin had my contractions 2-3 minutes apart, but I had no pain killer until I had to get the spinal block for the c-section
It wasn't bad at all for me. Only thing I would change is not getting the epidural early on. I waited to see if I could handle the pain. And I was already 8 cm when I finally asked for it. I was in so much pain already 🙄
it makes you really feel the contractions. before they started me on it i was contracting and didnt even feel them but after I felt every one and they were super close together
