It's gonna be: Painful either way, consider the epidural, it will make all the difference either way. If induced it may take a while and with no epidural likely more duration of pain but overall intensity will be the same. Good luck.

Probably : An elective induction when your cervix is not dilated is not a great idea. Be patient
