   Oh my god, I have been preparing myself for birth in 2 weeks time but got home last nite to find midwife message on answer phone saying that on monday they are going to induce me    Have been having a few growth scans as I am not very big bub was 4 pound 9 at scan 2 weeks ago and last week was 5 pound 6 so bubs has growen but not enough for their liking. 
 So as soon as possible I will be back on to update everybody

   good luck!  I was induced too and I can honestly say, don't believe all the horror stories you hear.  I had a perfectly okay birth.  jake was born within 5 hours and I had pethidine and gas.  No problems!  Hopefully yours will be as straight forward as mine.  And remember the end result - your new bub in your arms!

   best of luck, i agree with everybody else, disregard whatever you have heard about being induced etc, as this is your experience and you will be just fine,    |

   Good Luck.  I agree everyone is different that's why if you read birth stories not 1 is the same.  Hope it goes well for you.
