I have been induced in both previous pregnancies, for my DD it was at 36 weeks due to pre eclampsia, my labour was 4 hours and i had no tearing. She was 7lb 30z
I was induced again for my DS as he was 40 + 10 days, my labour went for under 40 minutes again i had no tearing.he was 8lb 10 oz
From what i can gather though i am lucky, inducing labour can tend to leed to more medical intervention .

P.S I had no forceps etc and no pain relief
