Does induction often result in a c-section?

Could you please briefly share your stories if you were induced? I am 38+ weeks and my doctor believes that my baby's growth has stopped (baby is measuring on the smaller side) and told me to be prepared for an induction soon... I have been quite set on the natural birth for a long time, and am now totally devastated... I am wondering if an induction often results in a c-section, maybe it is best to elect it straight away to avoid putting the baby in a potential distress?
