I have been induced with all for of mine and more than likely this one. My cervix was high up. They give you pitocin through an IV that gets the contractions going and by the time your dismayed to a certain CM they will break your water with a long plastic tanned stick that that hold in between their fingers and that gets it going faster. You shouldn't have any problems.

I honestly am not sure placement of your cervix will cause things to be more difficult.  Induction happens when medication is given that opens the cervix no matter where it is.  While this is my best guess, ask your doctor for confirmation.
