I've never been induced myself, & only really had pain relief in my first labour, but my ob talked about induction the first time around.
I was going to go ahead with it, but my mum refused to let me. She was induced with me, but labour started naturally with her 2 labours after me & there was no way she was letting me go through an induction.
I personally never considered an epidural either. I have a big enough fear of needles. I do know alot of people who've had them & alot of those people have also had problems since.
