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

I was induced too! First baby usually stays in longer, it wasn't as frightening as I thought. They had inserted a prostaglandin pill the night before and pushed me to the labour suite the next day.
