If there is no medical reason to wait, tell him you want to schedule it NOW! he really shoudln't fight you on this, so I hope he doesn't (If you are ready). I was induced just one day after my date and I did it to insure that my doctor, who is wonderful, would be the one to delivery instead of his partners. Everyone has so many different stories. Induction itself isn't going to lead to a difficult labor IF YOUR BODY IS READY! Are you dialated and are you effacing?? If not, induction will do you no good. It will be very possible that they could start, it will do nothing for you and you will reach a point of no return that will take you to a super long time in the hopsital or c-section. If you are progressing, then you should have no problems. If your labor starts, who cares about pain. There is none if you get a epidural! I was induced at 7:30am and had my son at 7pm. Sounds like a long time, but I slept all afternoon! Epidurals Rock! I was very dialated and effaced already and it turns out, had started contracted (though I didn't even know it).
Don't assume that since you are past your due date, your body is ready. If you go to your appointment and nothing is happening, I would suggest you wait. Good luck and early congratulations!
