You could always look into natural induction methods (acupuncture?) before the date they want you induced. If you have even a slightly open cervix, which is likely given you have birthed before, they can break your waters as a first attempt to start labour instead of drugs. The thing is, they will give you a time limit to go into labour before they will want to start the drip - you just have to make a decision on saying no if thats what you want, and you could say that if you show signs of infection you will accept antibiotics - often they only give you up to 2 hours but it often needs more than that...

I also wonder if Chinese medicine can try to help with this condition? Even many doctors will admit they don't know much about OC hence they are very jumpy with it.
