Moms that were induced the first time around,  how was your second L&D?

I was induced with DS and it was over 24 hours before he was born. With DD I went into labor naturally and labored at home as long as I could, made it to the hospital at an 8, and she was in my arms less than an hour later.
Night and day difference.

Induced with my first and he was born in 10.5 hours. My second was easier and was born in 8 hours but I had hardly any pain full contractions. My doctors were baffled. My contractions were reading really strong but I was still sitting in bed like nothing was going on.

All of my labors/births have been freakishly easy. My second was all of 47 minutes.

Any opinions as to why you think they were easy? Prenatal yoga? Perineal massage in advance? Using a doula?

Teach us!! Lol.

I had really easy births too. First induced with pitocin, labor was just under 4 hrs from when they pushed the pit to when I was holding baby. I pushed 12 times, so maybe 10 minutes? Second labor I went into labor at home. From the time I realized I was having real contractions (not Braxton-Hicks) to holding baby was about 6.5 hours. Again, I pushed for about 10 minutes. It would have been faster, but my OB showed up while I was pushing (SNAFU in their paging him), so I held off while he was getting his stuff on.
