    Some people have no problems but it shouldn't be treated lightly. My last two clients who had inductions just recently, one with gels one with synt:

    1 lost her uterus, 2nd (last night) got uterine hyperstimulation and incredibly intense contractions with slow dilation and had a c/s. Both inductions were avoidable but that was my clients decision and thats what they wanted, I was willing to support them and they heard my concerns. One was told her baby was big (ended up an 8lber) and one was told blood pressure was eratic (details are sketchy will find out more) but was normal on induction day. Both first time mums.

    So while they can go fine, if there is no medical reason for induction, you gotta think about it properly. What are you willing to barter? If its to save your baby's life I would risk my uterus any day. But if my baby was really fine, then I wouldn't risk my uterus and my ability to have more children in future.
