Positive induction story's after multiple spontaneous naturals

Hi everyone.
Looking for positive induction stories as I keep seeing horror stories and already suffer Tokophobia after a traumatic birth previously.
5th baby.
All spontaneous labours and birthed naturally
I have fast precipitous labours (last baby was 5cm to being out in 20 minutes) meaning extra painful contractions with no break between them.
My last birth resulted in haemorrhage 1 litre.
I'm terrified. Induction in 2 weeks today.
I've requested an epidural as early as possible.

Hi I've had 4 inductions all been okay.
First two was by pessary last two by the drip.
I just used gas and air.

I went in and they inserted a pessary didn't do much so hours later I had another. This kicked of contractions within 45 minutes she was out.
Second time I didn't have any pains at all they did the pessary I felt it didn't do nothing.
15 minutes later he was born!
Told I have precipitate labour and I birth quick.

Second 2 was by drip. So I had my waters broken first then left to see if anything happened, it didn't. Went on to the drip. Contractions started building after a whilst. I think I had both of the babies within 6 hours of being on it. I just used gas and air again and was okay.
My last baby I delivered on Boxing Day at 19.42 I was home and in bed by 11pm!.
Didn't need any interventions or help, I didn't have any stitches or tears I was okay.

I'm now going to be having my 5th induction next week and really excited for it.

I was induced with DD2 at 37 weeks after my waters broke at 34 weeks.

With DD1 I went into spontaneous labour at 40 weeks, and had a post partum haemorrhage.

The induction was absolutely fine. I wasn't dilated at all, and was only 37 weeks but only needed one dose of the internal gel which kicked things off immediately and I didn't need the drip. It wasn't any more painful than my labour with DD1, and from inserting the gel was about half the time of DD1's from start to finish.

I'd have insisted on an epidural being in place before they came near me with the drip though. Not a promise to have it soon, or a wait and see, but actually in place.

There’s still time, my first I went into labour naturally literally an hour before my induction , we had just left for hospital when I heard the “pop”, the other they just broke my water and it kick started a natural labour.
I also had two relatively quick labours so it could happen again, all my birth plans went out the window but if they’re happy to give you the epidural as soon as you wish then I’d take it, other than that it’s to be open as possible because babies do their own thing

DC2 was induced when 13 days overdue but I've only the 2. DC1 was spontaneous but a horrific 30 hour OP labour so the uncomplicated 2 hours start to finish was a dream in comparison. I was asking for an epidural on the way down to delivery but they said I was too far gone already.
