    Being induced, whats it like?

    I just found out i'm going to be induced on tuesday night. The doctor said i will have a catheter inserted into my cervix to drain( i think thats what he said, but after reading up on it i think he will be putting in a warm saline solution to reduce risk of cord compression ) the amniotic fluid and a tape of prostaglandin will also be placed. Once the fluid was pretty much drained and cervix dilated he was then going to ratpure my membranes then the rest is up to bubs and me to push i think. He said if it wasn't all going to plan i would then be off for a c-section.

    Just wondering if anyone has been induced like this or similar and what it is like.
