I was induced but fortunately my OB seems to be one of those rare ones that would rather let nature take its course as much as possible. He took my induction very slowly - one round of gel in the morning then another at about 6pm, ARM at 8am the next day and then syntocinon at 1pm when my contractions still hadn't progressed enough (this was my choice, he would have waited longer for the synto if that had been my choice). DD was born at 10.17pm. Once the synto was going I could still use the shower (didn't have a bath in my room unfortunately but was told that if I had had one, I could have used it), go for walks through the corridors with DH, use the birth ball. Basically, I could do everything I could had I not been induced, just was doing it with a portable monitor attached and a drip stand. DD was posterior too, but turned prior to the synto being hooked up.

I'm really grateful for the OB I had, and would definitely have been fighting if he had tried to push me faster. I did end up with an epidural - was completely exhausted by the end of the second afternoon and needed to get some sleep.

Good luck - hopefully your bubby will take matters into his own hands and move things along for you.
