I'm not getting induced or anything,but my friend is and it sparked my curiosity.

A few questions-


1.Does being induced by the medicine they put through an IV cause worse labor pains? I have always heard they do but some women have told me that's a myth.

2.If there is nothing wrong with the baby,and my doctor was to bring up the idea of induction,could I refuse?


3. When you get induced,typically how long does it take before you deliver your baby? Is there a time difference compared to natural birth? Is it a shorter delivery process?



Thanks,I was just curious.
