I was induced with E at 41 weeks and it was 16 hours start to finish. While I'd like to go on my own, I'll be inquiring about an induction with this baby if he's at risk for Pulmonary Hypertension since E had it (which is a complication of being overdue). Not sure if that's a freak thing or if it's more likely to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009688 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 08:54:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2009688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Its a ball you use while in bed. Especially helpful for when you have an epidural. It helps keeps your hips open and keep labor going even once you are immobile. Luckily our hospital had them but I would totally buy one if your hospital doesn't have them. There was a thread about them on here because I hadn't heard of it before either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009624 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 07:48:15 +0000 winniebee 2009624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor on my own at 38+3 wih my first. </p> <p>Was induced for medical reasons at 38+2 with my second. Already wS having mild contractions every 10m on own before induction. I was 2-3cm and 80% so they just broke my water at 1:45 pm no pitocin. He was born at 9:59 pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009614 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 07:32:15 +0000 regberadaisy 2009614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and I think it bears mentioning that I was already 3cm dilated and 40% effaced for about a week or two already. I was induced at exactly 40 weeks. My water was broken first then pitocin started like 30 minutes later. I only got maybe a drop or two before contractions started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009593 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 03:38:14 +0000 erinpye 2009593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I was induced for both too-- first one was 12 hours from the start of pit to holding my babe. The second one, they broke my water to induce, and only added pitocin a couple of hours in (so 3hrs or so from birth) becsuse of some complications, but otherwise I wouldn't have needed it and it probably would have only been slightly longer. It was SO fast the second time, and I think that's pretty normal-- it should be much faster for you too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009533 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 23:57:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 2009533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me excited bc my first induction took 36 hours from start to finish, and I'll be induced for this one also...But I'm sure I'll be the exception and LO2 will take just as long:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009520 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 23:47:36 +0000 coopsmama 2009520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 42 weeks with my second. My first labor was 36 hours so I was really nervous but my second only took 3 hours and 50 minutes total but I would say it was only serious labor and pain the last hour and a halt. It was such a breeze compared to my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009516 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 23:42:27 +0000 StbHisMrs 2009516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced with my second, at 9am I was at my 40 week appt. he told me to check in at 11 for an induction. I think we got there at 11:15, pitocin started around 11:30, water broke at 1ish and she was born at 4:26. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009485 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 22:42:36 +0000 MrsScallop 2009485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My induction started with a pill inserted next to my cervix to ripen it a bit at about 9pm, then pitocin was started around 8am, and baby was born at 9:42pm, so nearly 24 hour induction, but the first night wasn't so much labor as me just sitting around/sleeping waiting for something to happen. So ~13 hours of labor after pitocin was started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009480 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 22:32:46 +0000 HappyBaker 2009480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NavyRN2012: @erinpye: that's great! I thought this would be a semi guaranteed 12-24 hour process so it's great to know there's a chance it could take way less time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009439 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 21:34:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2009439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: not really! With DD 1 I had a epidural and with DD 2 there was no time. She came really fast and I only pushed a few times and somehow didn't tear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009426 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 21:25:22 +0000 erinpye 2009426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I checked in at 1:30 PM, was holding her at 6:30 PM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009424 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 21:24:44 +0000 NavyRN2012 2009424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Checked in at 5 am and she was born at 2 pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009372 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:47:25 +0000 HappyBaker 2009372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Holy cow, that is nuts! Was it crazy painful since it was so fast? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009368 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:46:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2009368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um. With DD 1 I checked in around 3am I think and she was born at 1pm.</p> <p>Dd2 we got to the hospital around 9am and she was born at 11:05am! I wasn't even officially admitted yet! But I don't think that's the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009353 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:34:34 +0000 HappyBaker 2009353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Thanks! What's a peanut ball? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009340 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:28:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2009340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went in at noon, he was born 7 am the following morning. Pushing was much easier but I think that was also because of the peanut ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-induction-with-baby-2-take#post-2009277 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 19:29:30 +0000 HappyBaker 2009277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you were induced with your second baby, how many hours did it take?</p> <p>I'm getting induced Tuesday morning with Pitocin, and just curious of the range. My first baby I went into labor on my own and it was 12 hours from my water breaking to delivery. </p>
