I've been induced for two of mine and it's looking very likely I'll be having this one early via induction as well. I've had pre-eclampsia every pregnancy. Anyway, my labours were 5hrs, can't remember exactly for the 2nd one and 2hrs 45 mins for the third one. 1st one I had a small tear with gas and pethidine, they used the gel and broke my waters. 2nd no tears and only gas, had to break my waters at 10cm dilation. 3rd one I had gel, syntocin drip and broke my waters, I had gas and pethidine and only small grazes. Having had both natural and induced labours, I'd definitely prefer the natural, as it was the least painful. I was really hoping to be able to go into labour on my own with this one too
