Had kinda the opposite, baby was a bit larger than normal so they decided to induce, and everything they told us was that induction would be a long labor process, especially since it was my wife's first. We go in at 11am, they apply the gel at 12 and then send us home, saying come back at 5pm and prepare for a long night. At home the wife starts feeling mighty uncomfortable almost right away, but we though it was cramps related to the drugs since she wasn't supposed to have contractions for many hours yet. But by 4:00 it's bad enough that we pack up and go back to the hospital, they confirm labor has started, yet still insist it will be many hours yet. They move her to the delivery room and right as they page the doctor that administers the epidural suddenly it's defcon 1 and all hands on deck. Daughter was born at 5:20, wife only had to push for 15 minutes or so
I was quite thankful everyone was wrong and it was a fast process, but holy crap was it ever a blur
