I agree with Kirst11- This is YOUR birth and afterwards you do really need a lot of support, if the only way you will get that support is to be induced and you and your Dr are happy with that then by all means do what YOU have to do. Without my DH in that first week I would have been lost. He made sure I ate, drank, had a shower etc and took care of me when I needed to be looked after. He was also a great support with our DS too.
I am sure you have already but the only advice I would give you is to make sure you do a big read up on inductions and make sure you know what happens with them... I was induced and thought I had a good idea as to what went on but there were a few things that I didn't know which caught me by suprise as I wasn't 'prepared' for it. Not trying to scare you AT ALL... it wasn't anything bad but it is such an emotional time anyway and for the Drs and midwives to 'do' things etc I wasn't planning on made me feel a bit apprehensive. It was mostly a positive experience for me and I am sure it will be for you too.
All the best *hugs*
