Aw OP, I actually came to the pregnancy board because I was wondering if anyone had made a thread about waiting to be induced.
Just like you I had a natural labour first time round and then 8 months ago I was induced with my son. I wasn’t overdue but I was anxious about reduced movement.
It might be different for you because you are plenty past your due date, but I was in for quite a while. Despite my initial anxiety it was frankly a really great experience! I went from pessary to having waters broken so I’ll give you a little run down.
Was admitted to the shared ward on Sunday afternoon and was given the pessary. Only ended up having one pessary (was told there would be 2, 12 hours apart if I remember rightly). I then started having mild contractions a couple of hours later. Was free to move around the hospital and there is a Costa at ours and a subway which kindly gives ladies from the labour wards free ice chips 
so we spent plenty of time out of the ward.
In the evening around 7pm I was getting quite anxious and the midwife was very very kind. Gave me a shot of pethidine (basically I was very anxious because I suffered terrible contraction pain first time round with no sympathy from MW, no pain relief and was really frightened of being in that position in front of the other beds on the ward).
I then was able to relax, eat, watch films on the laptop with DH and just relax. Was still having mild contractions but not very painful. At around midnight contractions were intensifying and I was getting a bit anxious again so MW advised I had a bath in the lovely big tub they had in one of the bathrooms. Did this and felt much better. I was anxious again in the early hours of the morning and was (apparently against usual practice) given another shot of pethidine and had a sleep.
When I woke up contractions had faded so was back to square one in a sense. Had breakfast and briefly spoke to a consultant; went to have a mooch around costa and try and get contractions going and when I came back I was told I’d be going up to the labour ward to have my waters broken!
Went through that and got an epidural eventually. Regret it as I would have been fine in the end on G&A and pethidine - that was actually the worst part of the whole labour! As with most people once waters are broken things tend to move along then. So even if none of the previous stuff works for you, this will likely get things going. Long story short despite concerns of DS not dropping and me not getting any more dilated - DS was born by 9pm.
It was a great experience! I had lots of very kind midwives around me - one was an assistant or nurse I think and she Helen my hand and gave me some beautifully soothing hypnotherapy talks - I will forever be grateful for that.
Sorry, one thing I’ve missed in that huge waffle was - be prepared for the amount of monitoring you will receive if you aren’t hanging around waiting to go into labour - there was a lot! And usually for about half an hour each time. Be prepared - bring books or ideally a device and headphones with stuff pre downloaded on it - there was no WiFi on the ward in my hospital, and the headphones will help drown the noise of others out. Also bring plenty of food and drinks if you don’t have an on site shop or cafe. Most of all don’t panic, inductions can be intense but it’s relatively unlikely that you will be given the synthetic oxytocin drip, so most likely you will be fine. Best of luck!
