I've been induced three times. It's not so bad. With my first I was already dilated to two so they had me come in at six am and hooked up an IV with fluids and pitocen. When I reached 5cm I got an epidural and it was all smooth sailing from there. With my last two it was pretty well the same process except i wasn't dilated at all so they had me come in the night before to get cervidil, something that softens the cervix. Then when I woke the next morning they removed it and we started the IV.
