Hi Belinda, Is this stat published anywhere, or just anecdotal? A 60% section rate is twice the rate for the state, and I think twice the average for that hospital too, and having just heard a leading obstetrician there tell women that there is NO risk of an increase in c/s as a result of induction, I'm trying to get my head around it...
