In the last year I've known more than 10 women - friends and family - who for one reason or another had to be induced (quite the run of bad luck, eh?). Every one of them ended in an emergency c-section.
Which begs the question: if you're going to be induced, is it better to just go with a planned c-section? I don't want to rely on skewed anecdotal evidence, so does anyone have the relevant stats?
I don't want a CS either way but I suppose if it came down to it I'd rather it was planned! Hopefully this kid will happen along naturally, but in the spirit of being prepared for anything...

Anyone know what percentage of inductions end in c-section?
