I had induction at week 38. I also heard scary stories about induction so was afraid too but it wasn't as scary as I thought. They gave me laughing gas to distract myself as the checking of dilation and inserting of pill can be uncomfortable. Induction may takes very long to be effective. My gynae says some people need more than 1 pill as 1 pill only lasts 24 hours but if contractions doesn't start, you don't feel anything after the insertion of the pill. My contractions became pain only about 18 hours after the insertion of pill. I was 4cm dilated at that time. Before that I was doing squats, playing with my phone, lying down on bed sleeping. However do take note induction may not works for everyone. If it doesn't works (means no dilation at all), gynae may advise you to go for c section. Luckily for me it works and I managed to give birth naturally.
