A member asked:
What are the pros and cons of an elective cesarean and induction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fetal pathways: Fetal pathways pro and con involve natural or surgically created doors. Induction, if successful, involves laboring with Pitocin and a "natural" vaginal pathway with fewer complications. Door # 2 is a surgically created abdominal incision for failed induction, labor arrest, or ER complications. Surgery can cause infection, bleeding, injury to surrounding structures and anesthesia risks.
