Teddy, yes i was induced with my first (root of so many problems...the induction!!) lead to another intervention and then to another and then a great big tear! It was awful and had I know better I would have told all the docs to back the heck off!!! 2nd baby I had at home, and I could take my time and relax and she was born quickly, quietly and calmly. If you read on these forums the VAST and I repeat VAST women who get induced end up with either and/or all 1. epidural 2. c-section or 3. tear. Have you ever seen or heard about the documentary Rikki Lake did on birth, "The Business of Being Born" excellent by the way...Anyway she interviewed nurses in NY hospitals who have NEVER EVER seen a "natural" birth in their years of experience...what does that tell us...? Anyway good luck gummibear!
