Will my body be slower with induction?

Hi
I am currently 41+4! I had my daughters naturally at 41+3 and 41+4, I had very fast labours, with my last I went from 5-10cm in 15 minutes and wasn't even in much pain at 10cm, 20 mins pushing. I am heading towards induction this time, likely tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I am induced will my body likely act the same way as it did naturally and dilate fast? Or is it likely to be much slower and drawn out because its artificially brought on?

if you are induced you may be hooked up to a drip that is designed to speed up your contractions (if required)

1 out of 3 of mine were induced and all of them were extremely fast.

Good luck tomorrow Thanks

Depends on how close your body is to going into labour naturally. But probably once things get going it will be fast.

The drip is meant to speed things up. I got induced at 4am and had DD just before 1pm and the pushing stage was an hour. First baby and the drip wasnt particularly effective for me (due to my personal circumstances, not likely to happen to you) nonetheless I thought that was reasonable timing
