Being induced tomorrow - 2nd time around - Any advice?

I have been induced with all 3 of my children. 1st one 6lbs. 15 oz. went in at 7am had him at 9:11pm. They induced me with pitocin and i did not dilate fast at all it took 14 hours to have him. After 11 hours I was at a 5 and they finally let me have an epidural and it went quick after that. Second one 6 lbs. 12 oz. went in at 7am had her at 6:19pm. They broke my water which was supposed to bring on contractions- it didn't. so after 4 hours of not having contractions they started the pitocin and told me I could have an epidural whenever I wanted. I started having hard contractions and got the epidural and an hour later my daughter was born. My 3rd baby 7lbs. 4 oz. I went at 7 am and had him at 1:20pm. i had been having little contractions all night the night before 10- 15 minutes apart. When i went in to be induced they started the pitocin I had an epidural around 11 and had my son at 1:20pm . Think the epidural really helped me to relax cause it went fast each time after I got it.
