    Wow!!! That's amazing.
    I have had both a natural birth without any drugs and an induced birth, with gas and pethadine and by far the induced birth was harder and more traumatic! But I did have a vaginal birth (with the induction) even though the ob was pressuring me into having a C/S. After 20-odd hours of horrible induced labour, I was getting tempted, but still had enough resolve and determination (and fear of C/S) to birth my DD vaginally. It still took me 3-ish hours to push her out though! I'm feeling pretty proud of myself for persisting!

    I have had 2 inductions and 1 naturally occurring birth and I know I'd choose to not have an induction everytime!! I didn't have a c/s nor was i pressured into having one but DD1 was forceps.
