"I was induced with Pitocin, and all the horror stories I heard were dead wrong. I felt nothing for seven hours. Not a thing. Then for two hours after that, I felt noticeable tightening, but that was it. Broke water next, and things picked up, but it was never bad enough that I wanted an epidural. My recovery, even with a second-degree tear, wasn't awful." — Caitlin S., Indiana
