induction

So many women choose induction.... Why on earth? Medical reasons I understand but I see women scheduling inductions the day after their due date... just because their due date already passed. Is induction easier than natural birthing or faster? I might have to be induced so I'm honestly curious, if you had an induction, how did it go? I'm scared mine could end in cesarean. I would never CHOOSE to get one because I've heard such bad rumors about pitocin.
