if you were induced w #1, did delivery with #2 go as quickly as they say the 2nd does?

assuming you weren't induced w #2 that is...just curious if it's true that you go faster w #2 if you body didn't "naturally" begin to labor w #1...tia!

I obviously have no idea, but I did a google search and it seems some women report the second induction was faster than the first.

BUTTTTTT, hopefully baby #2 will come naturally on his/her own and you won't have to worry about being induced again!

I was induced 1 week late with DS, and I went into labor naturally with DD 4 days late.

I had contractions around 3pm on Friday, all about 14 minutes apart then to the evening. At 2 am ish, I woke up to a contraction and timed them at 4 minutes apart for about 1/2 an hour. Called doctor, went to hospital, was in a bed by 4:30. Got epi when I was 4 cm, so maybe at 5:30 am ish. Progressed to 10 cm by 9:30, was asked for 1 push to show them that I remembered how to push. I popped her head out with that push. I pushed one more time and she was born.

I tell people I'm scared for when I have #3, that baby is going to fly out.

I was induced both times. The labor was about the same length... slightly shorter the second time, but the pushing went much quicker the second time, 10 minutes as opposed to an hour.
