2nd birth predictions (after IOL)

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

i was induced with both my labours, DD1(39 weeks) with Gels only, DD2 (38+1) with AROM only. No synto was required for either labour.

DD1's labour was 7hrs start to finish and DD2's was 5hrs start to finish.

Looking through some old posts and found this one.

My first (IOL) was 12 hours. Second birth (spontaneous) was around 4 hours. Baby #2 was in a better position, and i was in a safe place with trusted caregivers.

My waters broke with number1 and 9hrs later still no labour so synto drip started and 5hrs later and 2 pushes baby born (posterior birth)

Number 2 labor started by itself and 1hr later and 3pushes baby born

I think pain relief plays a part too, so I've included what I had

DS - 6ish hours from first contraction to birth (gel IOL at 32w, gas & air/pethidine)

DD1 - 19ish hours from first contraction to birth (gel IOL at 38w, augmented with synto ~10 hours in, gas & air/epidural)

DD2 - Weak irregular contractions for roughly nine hours, then 4ish hours between start of "real" contractions and birth (natural spontaneous labour and birth at 40w)
