All my births have been induced and I have had an epidural for pain relief with all.

The first labour was induced with gels, rupture of membranes and drip and it was 9 hours from the drip starting but she got stuck and vacuum extraction was used.

My second birth was just the drip and rupture of membranes. It was 4.5 hours from the drip starting. This was by far my easiest delivery!!

My third birth was the drip and rupture of membranes again. It was just over 5 hours but I was not allowed to push when I wanted to (and needed to lol!!).

Hope this helps!
