I have a question...what are good reasons for induction?  Are there
any?  What about a diabetic mother whose needs for insulin dropped to
almost nothing (indicating that the placenta was not working
properly)?  What about a diabetic mother whose baby IS large.  (Ultrasound
said 9 lbs, baby was actually 9lbs 2 oz and it was a VBAC)?

I don't agree with induction just to have baby on a schedule, but do any of
the above medical reasons warrant an induction?  Or a section?
