Due to the blood pressure being on the higher side, I might need to choose one of the two pretty soon. Which one would you go for? 🙏

I had an emergency C-section. If you can get help with sitting and standing down the first month then I think a C-section is worth it. It's efficient and you know when it's happening.

C section.

C section 30-40% of inductions end in an emergancy c-section I believe it is. More end up in an instrumental birth also. X

C section! I had this decision to make too and so happy I chose c section was so magical and smooth xx

Had an induction that ended up in c-section. Had I known, I would have chosen c-section in the first place

I’m in same position with blood pressure! I’ve chosen c section because it’s more controlled and I’ve heard terrible stories about induction so I want to avoid that as much as possible! xx

If having a vaginal birth is important to you then go for induction but just have in the back of your mind it could go to c section! I had the same decision to make - blood pressure preeclampsia and I went for c section. It was a smooth experience and I didn’t want the mess around induction can be, but I still wonder ‘what if’ and maybe I should have given induction a chance (my c section recovery have been difficult and long)

I wish i was given a choice but i was induced and it ended up in c section anyway. After experiencing both i would 100% pick an elective c section i had such a positive experience!!!

I had an emergency c section after a failed induction
My 2nd I will have an elective c section

I had to have an emergency c section. It definitely is worth it in the long run. You will need help moving around at first. The nurse or doctor will be able to answer any questions you may have.

I had an elective c section following a previous traumatic vaginal birth via induction and it was the best decision I have ever made. It was the most controlled, professional and peaceful experience. It was really magical and healing. The recovery was tough for the first 10 days but manageable after that.

I was induced and then ended up having a c section due to not progressing. Section was absolutely dreamy in comparison to the induction. Pregnant again now and opting for another section 1000%! Recovery isn’t a walk in the park but still preferable over being induced again. I have been told since my induction by many friends and family that if I were have another induction then opt for a epidural for sure! Good luck in whatever you choose x
