Monnie, email me your story behind the surgery etc and I will send it to a list of midwives I know and see what they say. You can compare their responses too, they will be honest. info@bellybelly.com.au.

c/s is uterine surgery and risk of rupture is 0.7% with a VBAC so I would imagine your surgery would be on the same level? Induction also has a risk of rupture so I would tend to lean towards the Ob with the VD - he wouldn't say so unless he had reason to think otherwise. Many Obs prefer to be ultra conservative these days with litigation, hence why many now section for breech despite it being very possible and even suggested in certain cases on the RANZCOG website.
