Induction after precipitous labour

Hello, I wonder if anyone has been in the same boat as me. My labours have all been precipitous (around an hour from first twinge) with a very short second stage (last labour was recorded as 1 minute from waters breaking). This is baby number 5.

My consultant wants to induce at 39 weeks if I haven't already delivered and has said they will either just break my waters or use the balloon.

Has anyone had this who is willing to share their experience? This has been a very odd pregnancy for me as I have been contracting on and off since 24 weeks - think my uterus is irritable. I was admitted at 34 weeks with contractions not particularly painful (normal for me at the start) but 2 minutes apart. I failed to progress though so it all stopped and babies head has popped out of engagement again!
