Induction does not involve rupturing the placenta, but rather the membranes. That was a typo and has been fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Daisyduck:

That would be a medical emergency and necessitate a c-section. They rupture the membranes, the bag of fluids around the baby. You need to check your sources before you publish such nonsense.

With both of the American born I experienced a prolonged labor-12 hours of painful contractions, and with one an episiotomy, and the second horrible tearing. Here in Poland, I had less than 2 hour labors, and 3 pushes and I had no cuts or tears. Perhaps it has something to do with those being my last 2 pregnancies, but more likely natural forces allow for the whole body to ready itself for birth. There are also numerous other benefits to natural birth, but too much to write here. I have 4 children, 2 born in the US, both induced by doctor’s choice, and 2 born in Poland, natural labor.
