The main reasons cited for induction were pregnancies of 41 weeks or longer, hypertension and diabetes, but 45 per cent of women had no medical reason for being induced.

so why are they doing them?
cos women are 'forcing' them into it. if the obs and the hospitals weren't doing it, there would be just gangs of women inducing each other in back alleys

of course, it has to be the women's fault again, and the doctors are so concerned about this pattern
