Welcome! What a combo- a broken leg and labor. 

My advice is to ask lots of questions now, do research and come up with a plan.

I had an epi with both my boys, was induce with pit with #2 and went on to give birth with no intervention or meds other than having my water broken with my daughter. Had I not had GD and been allowed to go over 40 weeks, I wouldn't have had my water broken. The best thing I did was tell my husband that I didn't want meds and to support me in that. He did, even telling the nurse no, when she offered.
