Getting induced!

Just wondering what to expect with an induction. I'm 5cm and 80% effaced already, but I know that doesn't mean anything. I'm trying to get my water broke, and if that doesn't work then Pitocin.

Yea, Im not in active labor. Ive had 3 false starts, contracting and dilating and then just stopping. I believe they are breaking my water. Im nervous!!

If ur already 5cm it should go pretty quick for you. I went in at 1cm and it over 15 hours to get to 5...but once I did they broke my water and had him within 3 hours.
