Induction vs c section

I have the same view. Quite a high percentage of inductions end in an emergency c section so it feels reasonable to skip that part and get to the end result. I’m really hoping I don’t get to needing conversations around induction 🙏 my partner doesn’t get time off work and I could be on an induction ward for days with nothing happening, knowing I’d have to do it on my own until labour actually begins as he’d have to work also adds to my thought process

That’s what I did! they want the baby to be born by 40 weeks and they told me they would induce me on my due date, but I refused and said that in that case I would rather have a C-section. They agreed and scheduled it for 39+6. If the baby comes earlier, I’ll try for a vaginal birth, it will depend on how I feel when I get to the hospital. Since I already have a scheduled
C-section, even if I go into labour before then, I can still decide to go ahead with the C-section that’s what they told me

I’m choosing a c section over induction, I’m high risk so they’ve moved me to a different hospital which is hours away from home. I do not want to be blue lighted from the one close to home, I don’t want too much unpredictability and I feel like a c section with everything else going on and my anxiety gives me the most control. Xx

I don’t have the option as my baby is footling breech and can’t be delivered vaginally unfortunately. But I wouldn’t allow an induction I’d prefer a planned c-section

Personally I think this sounds reasonable. I’ve refused inductions in my last two pregnancies and I have decided to do the same again third time around despite being predicted to have another very large baby. The induction statistics as well as the stories I read on here about inductions scare me too much!
