Hi Tania, I often use this article. It's not exactly what you're after but has an extensive bibliography. Where did the IOL in first time mamas has a 40% c-sec rate info come from. Jo??? J http://wwwhencigoer.com/articles/elective_induction/ - Original Message - From: Tania

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

Hi Tania I too have been checking out the facts on inductions after listening to the same Obstetrician. The Nice guidelines say that the mortality rate is 1 in 3000 at 37 weeks 3 in 3000 at 41 weeks and 6 in 3000 at 43 weeks. at 40wks 58% of women have delivered at 41wks 74% of women have

Thank you all for your insightful comments and information, its been a stomach churning time, just trying to digest what we were told on the weekend, and trying to make some sense of it. I started to question whether what I thought I knew was just what Ive been told, or what I wanted to
