Preventing first time mothers having an induction for non or dubious medical reasons would go a long way to preventing complicated labours and C/S for “lack of progress and/or fetal distress”.  There seems to be an epidemic of inductions, as tho this is the best way for women to go in to labour.  “Much more controlled.” It is just that artificial control that causes the problems. Like opening an egg with a hammer instead of letting the chicken hatch. MM   "AS 1 OB colleague states:  "if we could just prevent the first CS happening she wouldn't be faced with this awful dilemma now ie to VBAC or not."
