Are induction labor contractions really that bad as people say they are ?

mine were horrible. i was given pain meds ever half hour instead of every 2 hours. that was with my oldest. i cried.

Yes

pain medicine is that through the iv ? @juliam27

ugh im not looking forward to the pain 😩 @yazdahboss

Are you getting the epidural??

With my first they were terrible but with my second they were very mild. I guess every pregnancy is different.

I didn't think that they were horrible. I just concentrated on breathing. And I was doing aromatherapy which helped. But at the end I had to get an epidural since my son was pushing down on my hip so bad

yes i was planning on getting it but my goal is to reach 5 centimeters before getting it @yazdahboss

It's different for every person hun, but pitocin does make them stronger. I've been induced twice, and got my epidural at 4 cm and then this time I got it whenever they started pitocin.

Yeah i at least wanna try to take the pain and get the epidural at 4-5 cms so i can reduce the chance of me having to get a c-section @kbrown91 , hopefully my bf can help me get through it lol

just breathe! lol hopefully you'll dilate fairly quick! @janae_

@janae_, oh you could definitely get there I think they get really bad after 5c

really ? okay good well i think i can try to get through it then 😌 thanks btw ! @yazdahboss

@janae_, yes i got demerol. i dont do the epidural. never have and never will even then demerol doesnt help it just comforts you so you can rest.

Totally .

@janae_, I got the pit and was able to make it to five. I felt no pain at all. the nurses all looked at me like a freak when I told them I didnt feel any pain lol. I got the epidural at five cause my doctor wanted to break my water.

I immediately had extremely strong 1 min apart contractions. It was terrible. I lasted 3 hrs.

Not really, it just depends on how you handle pain.

mine where but I handle them pretty good
