both of mine were induced, (waters broken and drip) first was 3hrs 50 mins, second 4 hrs 20 mins. But second was definately easier, with my first i had an episiotomy and bled ALOT and was in pain for about 3w after, my second felt like a breeze!! I was up within 5 mins of giving birth, having a shower and joking with the nurses. And i only had 2 sml grazes. With both i had 1 shot of pethadine, and with #2 ds i had gas, but i also felt i was more in control with my 2nd i was asked what i want (#1 they just made all the decisions, including what to give me as pain relief and when!!) Hope my 3rd is even better!!
