OP, I don't mean to be critical, but as you are being induced and planning to have an epidural immediately you will with almost 100 percent certainty have a C-section.  I would love for you to come back here in a few days and tell me that I am wrong, but I have seen this play out again and again in the DC area.  You will definitely have a C-section with that mind set.  You will probably also be convinced that it was necessary in your case (after all, the baby was in distress for example, but the baby will only have become distressed because of what has happened at the hospital).[/quote]

Well, I and several others I know must be in the magic less than "almost 100 percent" because this wasn't true for us. But of course I "don't mean to be critical," PP.[/quote]

You know, it is actually possible to offer well-meaning advice without getting snarky. Your anecdotal data is not any more or less valid than the PP you're disagreeing with.

For the record, I've seen it go BOTH of y'all's way. I think the PP up thread who suggested at least reading up a bit on pain management techniques in case of epidural failure or fast labor was spot on. [/quote]
