Body Fat Percentage. Army Rangers, as well as other soldiers, can vary from the height and weight charts if their body fat still meets the requirements. In general, soldiers must maintain no more than 20 percent body fat in the 17 to 20 age range and 22 percent if they are ages 21 to 27.
I was induced with both my children, the first because I was a bit ill (kidney infection) and we needed him out. And the second was because she was 2 weeks late! (no one needs that extra 2 weeks!) The first labour took 36 hours, one lot of cream and further induction IV drip, as cream wasnt enough to kick start it. Second labour was 17 hours, same story, cream wasnt enough, IV drip.
No one can accurately predict how long it will take to induce your labor, or how long the labor will take once it starts. Sometimes it takes just a few hours. However, if the cervix is unripe (hard, long and closed) it takes many hours or even a whole day or multiple days for an induction to work. Just like natural labor, induction takes longer for women when it is their first baby. If labor does not occur on the first day, you may be sent home. You and your clinician will decide if you need to return another day for another attempt, or wait for natural labor.
