My doctor brought up induction at 38 weeks. She said it would be my decision and I decided to go in 2 days after my due date. I will tell you this. Trying to go all natural when being induced is HELL... I kid you not, the contractions I felt were so intense and painful. Having said that, no shame in getting pain meds, I held out for as long as I could, I went over 4 hours of screaming pain until I opted for the epidural. When my lil guy was born it was calm and relaxing and I finally felt nothing.
