the mid wife explained to me that for 3+ pregnancies since your uterus is so stretched out it doesn’t feel urgency to evict the baby- not sure if that was for my sanity or if it’s physiologically true.
DS1- 39+2. Steady contractions, but doctor had to break water and pitocin was given, 12 hour labor. DD- 41+2. Had to be induced. 21 hour labor. DS2- 38+5. Labor went so fast, I almost didn’t get my epi! 3 hour labor.
So I only have one, born at 36+5 and it was a 7hr labor. I often wonder if labor would be even quicker if I have a second. This thread makes me think yes.
I was induced at 40+3 with DS1 because there was protein in my urine and my blood pressure was rising. With DS 2 I went into labor on 41+1 naturally. I had an induction scheduled for 41+3. I was 2cm and 80% effaced a month before my due date both times. My first labor with the induction was about 12 hours while the second was 21 hours.

1st 38+2 2nd induced at 38 but I was already 4 cm and would probably have gone naturally soon. I had gone in for my appt and they told me to walk over to delivery. It was a very fast induction. H was at work and they were moving offices. I was on the phone with him and he was like but I have to pack. Seriously? His coworker offered to help and I was screaming let Deepak pack and get your ass over here.

This is what I was hoping for yesterday (minus the dense DH, c'mon D!). Maybe next week.

My OB appointment was at 9:45, and she sent me to L&D from there. DH was like, but I have an 11 am meeting!
I was like, eh, have your meeting, meet me at the hospital. I knew the first hour would just be checking me in, getting me on the monitor, starting IV, and giving my history. I was in no rush, and surrounded by my coworkers anyway.

DS 39+1 DD 37+1 so there is hope! My water broke naturally at 37 weeks and I was at 1cm when I was first checked at the hospital. Because I wasn’t in labor, I was induced and she was born about 4 hours later.
