Default Induction for Polyhydramnios

I'm 36 weeks with idiopathic polyhydramnios that is growing pretty quickly.
Anyway, I've been reading that induction is contraindicated for
polyhydramnios. But then I've also been reading that its recommended.
Other than the risk of cord prolapse and placental abruption associated with
the waters breaking, does anyone know why induction would be
contraindicated? Otherwise, if all the fetal monitoring, etc. I'm going for
starts to show a problem, what would they do? A C-section? My midwife has
only been talking induction.

Thanks,
Nancy
