39+5 and no signs of labour

Hi mummies, I’m currently 39+5 and no signs of labour. My gynae wants to induce me tomorrow (39+6) because he says risk of stillbirth increases after week 40. But I’ve heard that induction often fails and it can lead to a long and difficult labour. Any mummies had experience with induction? It’s really scaring me now

Hi I was technically induced. Cos I thought I had my mucus plug out end up it was just shedding of my womb lining in preparation of my baby's arrival. They had to burst my water bag and everything. I end up doing vacuum . But hey everything was fine. Don't worry so much
