So, I keep having people tell me lately to be careful if I go into labor with this baby because the 2nd labor is much faster than the first.
But, with my son, my water broke and I was admitted to the hospital. After about 5 hours of no progress or dilating at all, they augmented with pitocin. He was finally born 24 hours after my water broke, but that was with pitcoin. My body technically didn't labor on its own.
So, I really wonder if that "faster" 2nd labor even applies here. Anyone have any stories of induced or augmented labor with one and then the body naturally going into labor with another one?
For all I know, I'll end up on pitocin again but I'm hoping I don't.
