hello
I have only just gone overdue so it is early days to be fretting but i would be interested to know if anyone has managed to give birth without mega pain relief after being induced.
i am so keen to avoid an epidural if possible as i do not want the "cascade of intervention" that all the experts talk about, but I've heard that being induced makes labour very very painful and am worried that it's probably all downhill from there..
and what about sweeps- do they make labour more painful or not necessarily?
Please tell me your experiences...
