RE: [ozmidwifery] on the subject of induction

[Mary Murphy]

Amy asks "Is the "failed induction-requiring C/s" rate really around 50%?" Monica replies "no, IOLs resulting in CS at something like 32%"   Ooo-err!  Not a ½  only 1/3.  Still a lot of inductions result in C/s. I see Amy’s dilemma.  According to the medical advice she has ¼ chance of stillbirth if she doesn’t have an early induction, 1/3  chance of C/S if she does. I can see why women would throw in the towel and choose elective C/S.  At least it is a sure thing without the last minute drama.  MM       -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
