C section or induction?

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with twins. Both babies weigh almost 6lbs and I’m a petite 5ft2 55kg woman - struggling to say the least!

Ive been told a VBAC isn’t advised as I’ve previously had a c section which means there’s a risk of uterine rupture so it’s best for a planned c section.

However, they’re now saying they can’t fit me in until the day before I’m 38 weeks pregnant OR they can offer me an induction next Thursday!??? This seems to be really contradictory of their advice and I’ve no idea what to do.

On the one hand I’m so uncomfortable I just want them out, I’m not sleeping. But on the other hand I don’t want a VBAC or emergency c section.

Any ideas on what to do?

When you give birth what with the 1 kid

Hello, how do you all organize your first kid when you are going to the hospital to give birth to your second kid? I have a Firts 3 years and half and I’m pregnant for 23 weeks with second boy 😆 Do you take him or her with you to the hospital or how do you know can you please all of you give me ideas we don’t have any family near us. My mother needs at least five hours to arrive to Madrid it’s where I live in Spain. Soo ? 😆lol

So since 1am I’ve had slight stomach pain not terrible just you know it’s there and a loose stool🙃woke my partner up saying think baby is on way but it hasn’t progressed to being any more painful just the pain is still there. So went back to sleep the pain is still there but more of an ache than contractions! So do you guys reckon this is a stomach bug or early labour? I feel silly like I should know as this is my 3rd baby but I only went in to natural labour with my first which was nearly 10 years ago😳was induced with my second

Does the name Savannah match?

I'm pregnant with baby number 4. We dont know the gender yet, but both my husband and I like the name Savannah if its a girl. I'm just wondering if it matches in with my other childrens names. They are Eliyana, Aubree, and Luca. If not, what are some other ideas with the same feel to them?

On my way to hospital for induction…

41.3 weeks—Well, going to hospital now to be induced. Was trying to avoid induction but baby isn’t moving as much as he was the day before yesterday and my body and mind is so tired I don’t feel like I can wait any longer. I got a sweep on Monday and it didn’t really work. Although I did lose my mucus plug this morning.

Any positive induction stories? Is pitocin really that bad? What form of induction did you use and why? Trying to not worry so much, could really use some words of encouragement.
