i agree blondie you are better of going naturally, i have never heard any woman say they had a good experience after being induced.

i was 12 days over (so almost 42 weeks) and i was 1 day away from being induced, and thankfully went into labour naturally and i got ds out just fine (bar a 3rd degree tear - due to labour being so dam quick) and had a beautiful birth experience. so stay positive, i dont think what happened to your friend will happen to you, from what you've said, i think your gonna go into, and stay, in labour really soon.

cant wait to see your BA
thinking of you hun xx
