Inducing labor does not increase the risk a woman will need a c-section, contrary to popular belief.

I have to disagree. Many of the unnecessary interventions that doctors push on women have been known to increase the risk she will have a c-section. Look at how high the c-section rates are now, compared to just 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 30 years ago! Ask yourself why those rates are so high now. And why the USA's rates are so much higher than other countries that allow their pregnant women to go into labor on their own, or by 42 weeks.

Your're right I am in my second trimester and I have had a C-Section with my first baby due to her being breech.  Now I am trying to have a vaginal birth with this pregenancy and my doctor told me that I could try and have it vaginal but if I'm getting close to my due date and I don't dialate early enough they would need to perform a C-Section. She said that I shouldn't get induce because it mite be to much pressure on my scar, to make me go into labor and that I would have to get a C-Section.  I don't understand why I couldn't get induced if I don't dialate before my due date. Its no different then me dialating early myself.  I feel like I'm pressured into getting another C-section and that is not what I want to go through again.
