First child was induced as my waters broke early. The broke on a Thurs, I was induced on Monday morning. She was born at 6:35am. I was in labour from 3:30am, so it was a 3hour ish labour. I had gas and air and no time for anything else! Fairly straight forward.

Second labour was quite similar. I was uncomfortable from 3am. Went into hospital at 12:30 and was 8cm diallated (!!). My waters didn't break until about 3:30pm. My son arrived at 4:30pm. Again, nothing but gas and air, and all fine!
