I too wonder about the actual rates of inductions that lead to c-secs, I don't know whether my experience was unique or whether most women who are induced go on to deliver vaginally with little complication (I had a post-partum haemorrhage after delivering the placenta, and chances are that was because I was induced rather than going into labour spontaneously, but it didn't affect DD in any way so, although it was very traumatic at the time, DD was not in any danger or distress at any time so I don't think much about it).
Goth i agree with you on the actual rates of inductions that lead to a CS?

I too was induced due to insulin dependent GD (I had two lots of gel inserted with waters breaking on their own 2 hrs after the last lot of gels was put in. My labour then progressed normally - 7hrs in total but really only 5hrs of "active" labour as i pushed for 2 hours ) I had no further intervention (ie no drugs, no drip, no vac etc) and DD was born vaginally, no tears, no epi etc. - I delivered in a private hospital with my DH, OB and Doula all present and encouraging me. - So really i think it depends on 3 things:-
1. Your medical team and how willing they are to support YOUR wishes - my OB was FANTASTIC
2. How your Baby copes with the induction

And last, but probably the most important
3. How YOUR body copes with it.

Now my induction may have been one of the "lucky" ones, but i really do think that there are a lot of scare tactics for women who have to be induced and although yes some inductions do end up in a CS and other complications not ALL do and there are positive inductions.....
