Don't count on it. My wife with child number 4 went into the hospital with contractions 5 minutes apart. This is after being induced 3 previous time when her bag broke with no contrctions.
She also was dilated to 3 cm's+ a little more. When we got into the hospital they estimated active labor to begin in 25 to 35 minutes and birth an hour later. After 5 hours they introduced the pitocin. Our youngest sone wasn't born for another 7 hours later.
So don't expect to go in and have a baby in 20 minutes because it may not happen.

If this is your first, even with being 3cm it will still take 7-12 hours. That is what they call quick. I was 5cm when I was induced with my firsts(twins) and it was still 10 hours. It got faster with subsequent births and inducements that by my fourth child she was out in 4. good luck and boys are great!!

Sorry you had to get induced.
I hope you little boy does not suffer ritual circumcision, also called male sexual mutilation. In USA the AMA doesn't approve of ritual circumcision of baby boys. Historically in USA it was done to lower males comfort in masturbating. All boys do it anyway, so why bother punishing him before hand or at all.
So I do hope you and your son come thru this event with minimal drama and pain.

i was induced with my last one too. the labor and delivery went very quick as they said it was. now i hate to scare you but i think i should tell you too. with inducing the problem was the pain was harder and very bad. ( i wasn't induced with my 1st one i was with my second one ). they told me that it was because of the drug they use to do it with, makes the contraction harder longer but that is so it also goes quicker. good luck and god bless you and your little guy.
