Both my past labours have been fast - 6 hrs and 1hr. With DC3 though I am fraught with worry about not making it in time to hospital, since it's highly likely this one will be equally as fast, if not faster than the last one.
Last time I spoke to my midwife she mentioned induction as a possible option, which I'd not heard of in relation to kickstarting labour before your EDD, but am giving it more and more thought, as it sounds like it could be the most reassuring option.
What worries me though is the so-called cascade of intervention, and I'd rather not go down that road if a natural birth is possible - but ultimately it can't be any worse than giving birth alone/in traffic/on the pavement!
So my question is: if anyone's opted for induction for the same reason, has it gone smoothly, and do you know if it likely to because of the nature of your labours?
