There are loads of women who have inductions every day and not have any problems with it, but the truth is that an induction (by way of synctocinon drip) is a hell of a lot harder on your body than what a spontaneous labour is - that is not a lie at all. Other induction methods like ARM, S&S, gels or the balloon method are somewhat more gentle on your body, but again it is still *forcing* your body to give birth when it is not ready kwim? So that's why you do often hear the 'bad' induction stories.

You will be fine - you have to do what is in the best interest for the health of yourself and your baby.
