yes, inductions do suck. I had one with Jonas, and since he was my fisrt I had no idea what the difference was. That epidural was AWESOME. With Maggie, my epidural didn’t work. at all. so I did it naturally, and in all honesty- it wasn’t that bad. I was only at that induction level hell for about 10 minutes during transition. The worst part was (ahh well, it’s a toss up) the dr scraping my insides out after ward because the amniotic sac was stuck and the fact that my contraction STOPPED when Maggie’s head was 1/2 way out and I had to just sit there and wait for 7 seconds until the next contraction hit.

I plan to go natural all of the time now, unless I need to be induced. It’s SO much better!

And here I was assuming that by baby number three it would have gotten easier! Thank goodness you and your little guy are now fine.

(After reading this, I’ve never been more grateful that my daughter had to be delivered via c-section.)

Yikes! In retrospect I probably shouldn’t read things like this, but I do like to know all the possibilities, and you certainly know how to tell a story.
