Any ladies had both an induction and can compare with a "natural" birth

Be careful those relying on an epidural when choosing induction. I was induced and desperate for an epidural after 24 hours of contractions only getting me to 3cm. That was just with the pessary. Once they started the drip I had 3 failed epidurals & ended up giving birth with no pain relief. The contractions were literally back to back and I felt every bit of them. I am desperate to avoid induction this time.

I had a natural birth with my first and totaly lost control.. i was in agony for 12hrs only using gas and air because they said i wasnt in labour.
I was induced with pessery with my second and had a great birth with gas and air.
