I was induced as DS was 9 days overdue (now that was the worst ever!). I had two lots of gels, but neither worked...I was then put on the drip at 7am...DS was born at 3:55pm. One question I'd ask is that who's to say that an induced labour would mean a slower labour? I would wait till closer to the end of your preg and see what happens. If and when I have another I would try my hardest not to be induced. Our bodies know what they're doing, as I'm sure mine would have if it were given the chance
