hi, i was induced when i had grace. i was unfavourable too. i had the pessery thursday night and friday morning. They tried breaking my waters on friday evening but i was not dilated enough. they left me overnight and tried my waters again on sat at 12 noon. it worked that time and i had my little girl at 11.57 that evening. i was put on a drip to help strengthen the contractions. i felt that the pain was more intense than a natural birth but it was all over in 12 hours. i was in labour for 29 hours with my first............. i had gas and air and pethadine but you can always get an epidural if you need it. i had a good birth experience with both my babies so go with what ever you think works best for you.

Thats not always true, it all depends on the individual person. I had a very unfavorable cervix to the point they were unsure if inducing me would work yet my established labour was only an hour and half, I was having contractions for around 2 hours before hand but the MW's said they were the gel giving me them and they werent real (she said something better than that but I cant remember lol) and she checked me around 10:30pm and I was still only half a CM (the same as when she put my gel tablet in) and Harrison was born at 12:35am
To be honest hun, I dont mean to sound rude but I really wouldnt worry about other peoples labour stories because every labour is different. When I was pregnant I would read peoples and get myself all worried because theirs wasn't a pleasant experience or it was really long and I thought mine would be the same but it wasnt. Dont feel like a failure you're doing right by you and your daughter hun
Sorry for rambling on
