Inducing labour

[lil75]

A friend of mine was induced at 8am this morning, this is her 2nd child, and idea how long it will take for the baby to arrive? thanks!

no idea at all

how have they induced her?

if it was the pessary i can tell you i had 3 over 3 days and they still didnt shift my first. having waters broken meant a labour of 6 hours though.

if it was the IV drip that can sometimes be quicker but a harder labour

baby may even be here by now and they just havnt had chance to tell you yet.

Hopefully she will have had it by now LOL

Anyway, just in case someone else is reading and wants to know, I was induced via a drip and the midwife said it usually takes 3-4 hours before labour even begins, and obviously each person's labour is different. In my case, I went into labour within half an hour (midwife didn't believe me at first lol) but didn't give birth for another 18hours.
