Well I have to commend you on going drug free after being induced. I've heard the pitocin makes the contractions worse. Plus being strapped to the bed is very unnatural for labor. I think you'll have an even better experience at a birth center where you can move around and better cope with the pain. There are most certainly more and less comfortable positions in which to labor!!

And also, I enjoyed pushing. Enjoy is relative obviously, but for me it took the pain away from my back and gave me a new renewed focus. Now when that head finally popped out, OUCH, ring of fire is a real thing!
