Generally when you're induced, the midwives like to monitor you, so you will be confined to a bed or chair, I was anyway. If you insist, they might ,let you be monitored intermittently.
I don't know about the shower. I would think not though since you will be monitored.
I was in labour for almost 24 hrs with DD (though not on synto for that long I don't think) not sure how long I had it for but I had the maximum dose I could. I was pushing for 3hrs and I was headed for a c/s but managed to get DD out before the OB came back to take me away!
I think it did hurt more than when I had DS (a completely natural birth- ie no drugs at all). With DD I had 2 shots of pethadine and gas and would have had an epi if there had been an anaethsatist(sp??) there. With DS I managed to labour at home until 8cm dialated and gave birth a few hours after arriving at the hossy.Though it definately does have a place, I would honestly say if you can avoid induction.
Yep, you can pee normally.
