Labour stories second time round

So ladies what's your stories?
If you were induced with your first (I was induced at 39+3) how did you go into labour with your second? Did you go into labour naturally? We're you early/on time/late? Just curious as I'm 32 weeks & I keep thinking about the labour now & wondering how it will all pan out this time round.

I was induced at 39. Took a lot to get him moving. Went in to labour naturally at 42 with the second. It didn’t go as planned but we were all healthy and I had another DD a year after so all good. Good luck Smile

I was induced at 35 weeks with my first (pre eclampsia). I ended up going 12 days overdue with my second! I was induced again this time.
Didn't need the propess or the gel, so just had to wait around for a space on the labour ward to get my waters broken. After about half an hour I was feeling contractions but they weren't lasting that long and my blood pressure was going up so I got put on the drip. It was pretty intense but after about another hour I was 10cm. I had asked for more pain relief but there wasn't time. All in all labour was about 3 hours start to finish. Quicker than the first time which was about 10 hours.
