I forgot to add that I've had 2 inductions: for my 2nd and 3rd babies.

1st induction was because I was 42 weeks and my private OB really put the pressure on and I wasn't as educated and agreed. Baby emerged without any signs of being 'over cooked' and the placenta was still in a very good condition so *shrug* I felt a bit annoyed about that... but it was no "biggie".

2nd induction was due to cholestasis: potentially life threatening condition for the baby... my liver wasn't processing fats... something like that... bile salts were building up which was the problem. Anyhow I researched as much as I could and as Kelly was my Doula I decided to run it by her and we went with it... so you're right Yael, you do what you gotta do... but taking ALL the risks into account... and I would certainly not recommend doing it for mere convenience... it just doesn't make sense.
