I have had 2 inductions, 1st and 2nd baby. I had an epidural that wore off with ds1 and no drugs etc with 2nd baby. I didn't find them any more or less painful then my 3rd who was a spontaneous labour. But I did find the medicine can make the contractions wave on top of each other and that can need a lot on concentration to deal with.
Good luck hun! You get to meet your new little person soon! How exciting! Try to relax. It will make it all go more easily. Focus on meeting your baby.
My first two births were inductions (AROM and drip) and they were fine, easy and drug free. So don't stress too much, inductions can be lovely births! While I do think they were more painful than my natural birth, they were not less manageable and I found the slowish stop start of my natural labour a bit frustrating!
My first was an induction. It went fairly smoothly except he decided to stop moving as he was too comfortable. I did tear a little but not too much, probably as he then decided to move at the speed of light to get out. Came out all in one go, the little monster.
I spent most of my labour on my back as it was the most comfortable for me but the shower was also fantastic.
They wanted to monitor continuously but the midwife was understanding when I told her to get lost (not that politely).
