    When you say induced labour it's a bit misleading. There are a variety of methods, variety of drugs used (all with different side effects and potencies) and also the dosage used on the woman. A synthetic oxytocin drip (syntocinon) can be much worse than just having your waters broken. First births are generally longer and second births shorter and your body has had a chance to experience birth, so I think it's easier.

    There is loads of info, and clips in the induction forum: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...n-information/
