Induction questions

Annika
has anyone here ever been induced before & if so what were the reasons, i've been having major swelling during this pregnancy & my midwife has suggested thinking about an induction, but has never really said how soon they would schedule one or for what reasons they would do one. obviously she's suggesting it for my swelling, but hubby & i have never really thought about it. we've always just thought about letting him come during his own time. any advice or comments would be great!! TIA 💗💗💗
