My 1st time I was 63 hours - yes im not joking
2nd time term plus 16 days (yeap 16 overdue) my waters went in a massive gush one push later out he popped
I had the drip with both so I guess my experience shows you can react differently each time

I have been induced 5 out 6!!!

All 5 took ages (up to 7 days:eek:) to get going bbut quicker and quicker once in labour.....even then my shortest labour was 4 hours

Good luck, you know whatever happens its all worth it in the end anyway:D

Hi. The first time round i was induced and labour lasted about 7 hours from start to finish, the second time i was induced and labour lasted about 4 hours from start to finish. i have to say though that the last stage before birth was quick, and alot quicker the second time round. I was told if i had another he/she would come out like a bullet...I stopped at 2 :-)

See that scares me. I had a 4 hour spontanious labour with dd1 and 2hr induction with DD2 with 2nd stage both times being literally minutes like 8 minutes and 4 minutes and with this one I am terrified of delivering home alone.

I was induced first time - total length of labour 5 hours 44 minutes. I am being induced again next month and have already asked the midwife who said it should be the same or shorter next time
