<< Hello everyone, I'm a little late on this thread but...
here in NZ inductions run at about 30%, in the tertiary centres. We still
have a few rural maternity units. <snip>

Even with m/w care there is a high level of intervention. We do have some
social inductions, but mostly i think (hope) that there are real indications
for most. >>

Fiona,
With all due respect, I do not believe that 30% of women need their births
induced. One can find almost anything one looks hard enough for--including
"real indications".
