I was also just told that if no baby this week, they will induce me next week. My dr explained that there are basically 3 types of inductions, and she chose the one that basically gives me the exact same experience like spontaneous labor would. She will start with placing a prostaglandin pill in my cervix and let the contractions start like this. Only if after several hours and 2 prostaglandin pills there are no contractions she will give me oxytocin via the IV. She said that oxytocin starts your contractions immediately.
