of - hospital births were also associated
with a higher rate
of unassisted vaginal delivery and lower rates
of obstetrical interventions and NICU admission than in - hospital births, findings that corroborate the results
of earlier studies.3 - 5 These associations follow logically from the more conservative approach to intervention that characterizes the midwifery model
of care8, 19 and from the fact that obstetrical interventions are either rare (e.g.,
induction of labor) 20 or unavailable (e.g., cesarean delivery, whether at home or at a birth center) outside the hospital setting.

Labor induction has been increasing since the early 1990s, 1 and the rate is running at about 20 % for pregnancies at term.2, 3 Induction of labor compared with spontaneous labor is associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including at least a doubling in the caesarean delivery rate, 4,5 25 — 50 % increase in instrumental vaginal delivery rate, 3,5 higher postpartum hemorrhage rate, 5 and prolonged labor.5 Neonates born after induced labor are more likely to have low Apgar score and low umbilical cord blood

According to the American Congress

of life.

Cervical ripening and
induction of labor in women
with a prior cesarean delivery.
Elective
labor induction is the initiation
of labor for convenience in a person
with a term pregnancy who doesn't medically need the intervention.
Similarly, in another large cohort, the rate
of VBAC was higher among women undergoing
induction of labor at 39 weeks compared
with expectant management (73.8 % versus 61.3 %, P <.001)(104).
For example, among three large studies investigating prostaglandins for
induction of labor in women
with a previous cesarean delivery, one found an increased risk
of uterine rupture (89), another reported no increased rupture risk (5), and a third found no increased risk
of rupture when prostaglandins were used alone (
with no subsequent oxytocin)(6).
Risky
labor inductions for «convenience» and all the complications associated
with them — increased risk
of prematurity, C - section, bladder and bowel injury, and maternal death — are now on the rise all over the country.
One observational study comparing
induction to expectant management in women
with a prior cesarean delivery found that
induction of labor was associated
with a greater relative risk
of uterine rupture, whereas another study did not (104, 105).
Although published series are relatively small, women
with a prior cesarean delivery who undergo
labor induction with prostaglandins (including misoprostol) have been shown to have outcomes that are similar to those women
with an unscarred uterus (eg, length
of time until delivery, failed
labor induction, and complication rates)(138 — 143).
A large multicenter study
of women attempting TOLAC (n = 33,699) also showed that augmentation or
induction of labor was associated
with an increased risk
of uterine rupture when compared
with spontaneous
labor (1.4 % for
induction with prostaglandins
with or without oxytocin, 1.1 % for oxytocin alone, 0.9 % for augmented
labor, and 0.4 % for spontaneous
labor).
Randomized controlled trials
of methods
of induction of labor for women
with a previous cesarean delivery are underpowered to detect clinically relevant differences for many outcomes (112).
Similarly, there is consistent evidence that women who undergo
labor induction or augmentation are less likely to achieve VBAC than women
with fetuses
of the same gestational age in spontaneous
labor without augmentation (45 — 48).

induction and augmentation
of labor, operative vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, and severe perineal lacerations.
