Positive induction stories with your second baby?

Question

Bonus points if you were 1-2 cm dilated and very soft

Answer

Induced at 39 weeks with my second, 1cm dilated! Started pitocin at midnight but wasn't feeling contractions so I slept all night! Woke up at 7am.. 2cm dilated and dr broke my water (worst pain of my labor to put it in prospective)! Got my epidural after feeling one contraction because with my first I didn't get it in time and had to go all natural (I knew I didn't want that for myself.. props to those who do!) didn't feel any pain at all for hours and at 1pm I began feeling pressure! I was 10cm and ready to push! Waited for the doc and had baby girl at 1:43 with a little less than 5 minutes of pushing!

Answer

I was 2 cm, 9 days over my due date. Went in at 730am, started Pitocin, they broke my waters when I got to 3 cm, I rested until 2pm, I started pushing at 250 and had him at 304pm. 9 lbs, 3oz and wasn’t bad at all. Everything went smoothly and I was home the next day. I was induced with my first too and I’m hoping to be induced with my third (I’m 25 1/2 weeks now). I like being able to plan childcare around a schedule and not a last minute thing (my in laws are 2 1/2 hours away and they babysit for us).

Answer

I was induced at 41+4, started at 2cm with a Foley catheter balloon. The obgyn on call screwed it up by breaking my water(she didn't actually, but she thought she did). So had to stay the night. Started with the pills the next day, around 9am and did some exercises to get baby further down. Had a bunch of contractions here and there, but they didn't really pick up before after dinner. Then we was moved to a birthing room, a midwife broke my water around 20:00 then things really started. Baby came 9hours later, at 41+6.
