    1st baby 6hrs: Gel and ARM....
    2nd baby 2hrs: waters broke 2hrs before contractions started so i knew it was going to happen sometime soon...
    3rd: Contrations first....waters didnt break til head was about to birth...

    So i guess i have had all three.... you'll know, and there was no difference between comfort levels (none of mine were painful)..... But i hear that the drip is not so nice so am guessing this time will be better for you!

    I was induced first time, natural the second time.

    I found the contractions started very small, and followed a very logical progression, in my second labour. So they slowly got harder and longer and closer together. Whereas being induced it all just HIT me very quickly and was hard and close together right from the start
