When my DstepD was born her mother was induced as she was overdue. She had a very long and painful labour and I think forceps were used as well.

A friend of mine was induced due to pre eclampsia and she had a very painful labour and was unable to get an epidural so had to deal with the pain with just gas.

I don't know anyone IRL who's had a quick labour after being induced.

I'd say if you need it for a medical reason go for it, but if you don't then stay away from it as long as possible.
