I was induced for both my pregnancies, DD1 was gels only, waters broke 2hrs later on their own with no further intervention no constant monitoring no pain relief and i was in the shower right up until the top of her head was starting to show after which i moved to the bed and birthed her on all fours. Total labour was 7 hours.

DD2 i was already 4cm dilated from a S&S but no contractions so i asked for my waters to be broken. My OB broke them at 730am and i was in established labour by 10am. Again, no further intervention was required and labour was 5hrs.

I agree with LuluHB that not all inductions end " in a cascade of intervention" sure I may have just been 'lucky' but i think that having a great support network plays a huge role. I had an OB who was very hands off and happy for me to do my thing and i had a doula as well as my DH all of which i think helped me have two minimal intervention vaginal births.

At the end of the end of the day it's a decision only you can make. Good luck
