I am very proud that you didnt give in to get the drugs. I was induced with my first (because he was 10 days late), and I wouldnt wish that on anyone. The labor inducing drungs make labor much worse than normal labor and delivery. With my second child, I labored at home ALL DAY! I had my mid-wife on speed dial. When I finally couldnt take the pain anymore I went to the hospital and had my daughter in 9 minutes. It was totally worth being home and moving around during labor. I wont wait so long this time. Yes, I am pregnant again, with my third, and I hope all goes as well as the last one. My advise to new moms-to-be, if you need to be induced, dont be a hero, get the epidural. But if you have a chance to have your baby naturally, go for it. It feels so impowering knowing you did it on your own...
