Actually what I said is that *where I work* the C/s rate from IOL is hardly
distinguishable from the total C/S rate.
That's in a tertiary hospital. I don't know where this mother is planning to
have her baby but I would hope the risk of C/S would be far lower in a
peripheral hospital.

Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] on the subject of induction
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
