Julia Ann joined us this afternoon. I was electively induced (4th baby, history of precipitous labors, and favorable cervix).
Came in at 4 cm. They started me on pit at lowest dose (2) Around 9am. Had it cranked all the way up to 14 by noon (they don't usually go higher than 20) and I still wasn't in pain any worse than moderate period cramps. So after doing that all morning, and after the doc took care of a few other non-induced deliveries, he broke my water at 12:45p. I was at 5cm when he broke my water. She was born at 1:32. No epi or any pain meds. She is perfect and her three older sisters have already come to meet her (and are in love). DH just took the big 3 down to the cafeteria to get some dinner. Just wanted to give a quick update. Will write out a better birth story later and will try to post pix in next day or two
Good luck to everyone else laboring, soon-to-be or caring for their newborns!

Congrats! I had a friend years ago who also got induced for later labors because they were so fast. She also has 4 (all boys). Sounds like your body knew again just what to do.
Enjoy four kids!! I'm on my third and would love four, so you'll have to message me sometime to tell me how it's going.
