[quote=Anonymous]PP who was induced for convenience- I should have said that it wasn’t any more painful than my first labor (probably was less so, but maybe because it was number 2?) and, honestly, the experience of checking in and knowing that we were starting the whole labor process was surprisingly relaxing. Not being on edge trying to discern if every gas bubble was a sign of labor was nice, and my partner and I had some relaxed time together with the knowledge that our family was imminently going to be forever changed. The food thing was stressful at first but I don’t get all that hungry while in labor and my hospital (Sibley) allowed for drinking ginger ale and eating red or orange jello, so ultimately I was fine even with a 20-hour long process (check in to birth). We also ate a really nice meal after dropping the toddler off with grandparents, and it was a bit celebratory and an odd but fun experience. [/quote]
