Is it safer to have c-section?

I’m due my identical twins girls in just under 12 weeks and I’m so stuck on my birth plan I’ve got 2 year boy and I had a natural birth with him but had problems so I’m just wondering if people have found is safer to had good birth experience with twins

I had a vaginal delivery with my daughter and just gave birth to my twins 11days ago - vaginal as well! I knew since day 1 that I dont want c-section as I knew it'd be hard to look after a 4yo and twins while recovering from a surgery and hats off to those women who have to!! I had a healthy straight forward pregnancy so it was a no brainer. I was pushed into induction from 36wks but I stuck to my guns and they were born at 38+3 healthy 6.4lbs and 7.2lbs, no nicu stay. I must say the delivery took everything out of me I was exhausted for 2days but it was well worth it.

I would try to go for vaginal. Just because dealing with a c section and two new babies and a toddler would be a lot. Obviously if you need to because babies are struggling or breach or something then totally do it. But if eveything is good and safe to do it then I’d try to go the vaginal way

Baby engaged 37 weeks

I was told last week at 37 weeks that baby is fully engaged and very low down by my midwife. This is my second baby and I’ve read that second time around baby usually engages later on. My midwife said she doesn’t think she will see my at my next appt (39 weeks) as she thinks the baby will come early based on this! Does this mean labour is near? Any second time mums experienced the same and did baby come early?
