My SIL has 4 kids. She's only spent one night in hospital - after having Tom, the first. When she had Olivia, the second, she was a week or so overdue so asked to be induced because my brother and nephew (Tom, 5 at the time) were in a friends wedding in a few days and she didn't want to miss it. So they induced her on the Thursday morning at 8am. She went into labour at 9. Delivered Olivia at midday and was home by 3... putting a load of washing on!!!! She's my hero!
