Did anyone need to be induced for 2nd/3rd/4th/whatever labour after going spontaneously for the first?

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

Please say no!

Due date is tomorrow for DS2, DS1 was born at 40+2...

DS1 was born at 40 +2 and I had to be induced at 40 +10 for DS2 and induced at 40 +13 for DD1, Due tomorrow with DC4 and hopeful this one won't be an induction.
Full moon on friday - apparently that gets a lot of women's waters going!
Good luck!

Me! 14 days late with DD1, was booked in to be induced but they cancelled saying they were too busy. Went into labour naturally later in the day.

Was then induced for DS1, DS2 and DS3.

One for being 10 days late, one for him being a big baby, one for the doc not wanting baby to be too big.

Good luck and have some sex ;)

Yep. very particular circumstances though in that she had massive cord entanglement which is thankfully extremely rare (one or two loops around the neck would not stop anyone going into labour unless the cord were extremely short).

Ahh, darn. Thanks ladies. Was wondering if it made it less likely, but thought it might be nothing more than wishful thinking

Appointment tomorrow to discuss induction, 12 days over today...
Grr.

have a read of the induction guidelines

though i note they have removed the bit that used to say 'the risks of induction are only outweighed by those of continuing at +14' no doubt for clarification purposes.

although they are unlikely to bring it up, they should offer expectant management as an alternative.
