I wasn't induced but had both my kids at that point. Dd came at 37 weeks after 14 hours of labor. Perfectly healthy. Ds came at 38 weeks after 4 hours of labor perfectly healthy.

I had pre-e and was induced because my BP was too high at my last appt. I got to the hospital at 4pm but I was already having regular contractions that weren't painful so they let me do it on my own. I went from a 3 to a 4 in 5 hrs. Started pitocin, contractions got stronger but still not painful, 10hrs later only dilated to 5. My water was broken and immediately I started having unbearable pain! 3hrs later got epidural, 2 hrs later I had my baby. He was perfect and healthy!

A total of 20hrs of labor. The worse part to me was not being able to move. The whole time I had to stay laying down on my left because as soon as I moved my BP would go up and the we would lose the baby's heart.

ETA: My son was 7lbs 11oz

Nope, but I'm having my section when I'm 38 weeks! (8 more weeks, yay)

I was induced at 39 weeks with my first, ended in a c-section, blah blah, good luck!

I was induced at 36 weeks 3 days for multiple reasons.

Induction was started at 2:10 pm, Bo was delivered at 2:46 pm!! We are so glad we chose induction because I would not have made the hour drive to the hospital. I had her vaginally after three pushes and only one tiny tear that required one stitch.

She was 5 lbs 3 oz and 17 3/4". My tiny little princess. We had to stay one extra night for a tiny bit of jaundice. If she would have been term they would have let her go home. But she spent the whole time in my room.

I was induced at 37.1 weeks because pre-e. Started the induction on Wed ended on Friday with a C-section. I also had GD. Baby was 6lbs and no complications. I never dilated on the meds and the baby's heart rate was dropping from the contractions so that's why I had a c-section. I have my labor story posted if you want more details on my induction.
Hopefully your induction goes smoothly! And my GD disappeared after the c-section =]
