Ways to induce labour

I’m currently 35 weeks so still have a bit of time but I previously had an emergency C-section the consultant told me I can have a Vbac but it’s not very likely. I want to avoid another C-section as much as I possibly can but if I don’t go into labour on my own their not going to try to induce me they r just going to give me another C-section.

Does anyone have any ways to help me try and go into a natural labour

Thanks in advance

Political names??

I’m seriously considering the name Reagan for our daughter but have gotten feedback that people will associate her name with Ronald Reagan 😂 I also coincidentally love the name Kennedy but me liking these names has nothing at all to do with politics. I first heard Reagan for a girl in The Exorcist YEARS ago and thought it sounded pretty cool. It’s also tied to Shakespeare’s writing. Would it be weird to use? I’m in the US for context.

Pregnancy after loss

I just found out I’m pregnant, I’m around 3 weeks I had a loss at the start of the year when I was 5 weeks and I’m really worried it will happen again. Any advice how to help feel a little bit less worried?

Also I have a 2 year old as well, can someone tell me how hard this is going to be

Induction or C Section

Hi!
Any mums out there that have been through either an induction or c section fancy sharing there experience and reasoning behind why they chose one or the other?
I’m currently 31 weeks and have been advised that I will likely need to deliver between 38 and 39 due to a couple of complications. It’s a little way off yet but I really can’t decide what route I’d rather go down.

I know a lot of inductions end in a C Section anyway, so I was leaning towards a C Section but the recovery time with being a FTM scare me a little bit, I also know I will likely want more children in the future and not sure how this would impact anything?
I also want to experience a vaginal birth.

Has anyone got any positive induction or C section stories they would be happy to share? Thank you 🥰
