[quote=Anonymous]I found pitocin incredibly painful, but the hospital would not give me an epidural because I was only a centimeter dilated. They don't like to give it early, I think because it can slow the contraction process (but I don't really remember the reasoning). They did offer some other kind of IV painkiller with the pitocin, but it knocked me out so hard I feel asleep in spite of the contractions. It doesn't usually have that effect on people, but I have a history of hyperreacting to sedatives and it was also the end of a long day when the whole process started. Actually, it was kind of an ideal labor. I slept soundly through the contraction process, felt nothing but got the epidural anyway when I woke up, pushed for 15 minutes and was done. [/quote]
