RCOG has done an audit of birth outcomes at hospitals across the U.K.
The national induction rate for first time mums is now about 33% and about a third of these will result in an emergency caesarean, with about another third needing forceps or ventouse.
Wondering how many first time mothers are told that the most likely outcome for an induced labour is c/s or instrumental?
Was anyone here actually given these figures when they discussed induction?
Do you think women should be told this?
