Induction second time around...

PAIrishBride

I was thinking this moring because I was induced with my dd due to high bp will I most probably be induced the second time around?  I was just thinking that I will be like a first timer again wondering if that was my water breaking what is this is it a contraction?  I didn't feel one single contraction until the pit started flowing.  I still had a super fast labor from the time my water was broken until I had her in my arms was only 6 hours and I only pushed for less than 10 minutes.  So I had a great induction so I wouldn't be worried about it the next time.  I just wanted to know if your chance for an induction is higher once you had one.  Does anyone know? TIA

My OB told me that if you needed to be induced the first time.....you will most likely need inducing again.

I was induced at 38 weeks the first time for high BP.  It was a long process for me (27 hours ugh!) but a smooth one.. no concerns or c-section talk.  The second time around I had no BP issues at all.  I dilated pretty early on the second time, 2cm at 34 weeks, 3 at 36 weeks. I felt like a first timer just waiting for my water to break or a mucus plug to fall out. My OB said I was a good candidate for an scheduled induction (Good Bishops score and a previous successful induction) if I wanted one at 39 weeks.  I took her up on the offer because it was easier to schedule child care for ds#1 and for DH to get the time off from work.  I had a an appt two days before the scheduled induction and the OB said my water was leaking and I was 4 cm.  She sent me right over to the hospital started me on pit and ds#2 was born 5 hours later.  They called it an "augmentation" and not an induction because I went in at 4cm.
