Could someone please point me in the direction of some stats for ELCS v induction?
Consultant was very blàze yesterday (different consultant to normal) who was very much pushing induction v ELCS. I'll need to deliver between 38 and 39 weeks.
Two previous consultants and midwife have been fine with my preference for an ELCS rather than induction with a 30-40% chance of EMCS.
He told me that neonatal mortality rates and birth injury (both mum and baby) are far lower with induction. Even when looking at just elective stats (removing EMCS data).
Also was told that there was no link to prolapse and issues with incontinence were minimal ("do your pelvic floor exercises and you won't have a problem!"🤔)
