    Good question, I get induced 3 weeks early and don't think it is an option... I'll ask (since I'm living at hospital) and update you. But it might be diff at diff hospitals?

    Cuz if ur induced then baby isn't ready....and if baby isn't ready then it makes labor more painful....so they automatically give u an epi....I think.

    @nicoleok87 it is more painful but some women do it. The hospital can't do anything if you refuse a epi.

    @jay_brad, @nicoleok87, @jellybelly1015, you can choose not to have pain meds during an induction, they treat it like regular labor except you're receiving meds to get labor going. My best friend was induced 1week past-due, her labor was 12hrs long & the only med she took was a shot of nubain right after they broke her water. They didn't make her take it, she opted for it, idk why a hospital would MAKE you get an epidural...

    Mine was 100% optional! I did.t want one and went the first 30hrs without. After that the dr strongly suggested one and made it almost not a choice.. My body just wasnt progressing. Id been in labor 30hrs and was only 5cm dilated with contractions so high off the screen evety time id contract my whe body would shoot stright and you could see the muscles tighten :( I, like you, just REALLY wanted to do it natural. My advice would be talk to your dr and just let her know what you want, but if your body isnt progressing then just give in. Fighting it like I did just made things worse! I hope you can have your natural labor!!

    No thank goodness, but Dr said I probably would have ended that way if I wouldn't have gotten my epi! My body was just so tired. After the epi I progressed and had my little man 10hrs after I decided to get it! I decided at 11 pm they came in at 130 by 2am I had it and was feeling nothing lol then I slept for 5hrs when I woke I was feeling pain again but not nearly as bad! they checked me and I was 8cm. At 9am the nurse came in and I was at 9cm she had me do 2 practice pushes told me to stop, Dr came in at 915 I pushed for 25min and my little man was here :)
