I was induced with my first as well due to pre eclampsia. I had a 5 hr labour which started a few hours after the 1st lot of gel.

I was worried at first about being induced as I had heard all the horror stories about being fast & really painful. But really I'd rather fast & painful than loooooooong & painful anyday!!

My Mum had a 4hr, a 2hr & a 45 min labour for her 3, so I am hoping I get the quick labour gene from her
