How long did your induction take?

Question

From checking in to having your baby, how long did your induction take?

Answer

My very first baby was 4 1/2 hours from start to finish. I was on pitocin for 3 hours and it did absolutely nothing. (I was already 4cm 100% when I arrived for the induction). They told me I could either wait for labor and go home or they could break my water and see what happens. I said break my water and active labor started immediately and she was out in 4 1/2 hours. Second baby was an induction and they didn't even bother with pitocin or anything. Just broke my water and let my body labor. She was 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. Good experiences for me!

Answer

From checking in to delivery it was 41 hours. One of the reasons I am trying so hard to avoid induction this time. It was medically necessary last, but man it sucked so bad.

Answer

Both of my previous labors have lasted 5 hours from start to finish. One was natural the other was induced. The natural way was so much nicer.

Answer

9 hours. But only 6 of "active" labor. It was rough but I'd do it again to have my labor go that fast

Answer

It was more like 24+ for my first, but with my 2nd it was less than 8 hours.
