[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't understand that panic about being induced.... was very happy as AMA and preggers lady anyway to have a scheduled induction but DD can sooner. No, your OB isn't crazy. [/quote]

Completely anecdotal, but most of the induction stories I personally know of (with FTMs, that is) resulted in failure to progress and c-section after a long induction process.  These were situations where Bishop score was very low, but OBs recommended induction at 39w or 40w anyway.  I think this is the concern a lot of women have.  Despite the research that apparently shows no relation between inductions and risk of c-sections, [u]anecdotally[/u], that doesn't appear to be the case, and these are the stories many women hear.

As a FTM, I was induced with an unfavorable Bishop score, told by on-call OB to expect to go to c-section, and I ended up delivering vaginally.  So, there's another data point.

I was induced at 37 weeks and didn't have a c section. [/quote]
