I lost my first baby at 40weeks - he was stillborn becuase I had a medical condition that they didnt pick up during my pregnancy. I went through a full back to back labour with my first baby (11hours) and was utterly exhausted after and had grade 2 tearing, he was only 6lbs 2ozs. I was determined last time to have a natural birth in the pool using my hypnobirthing. However I now realise that you shouldnt be too fixated on birth plans as you have no control over it really.
This pregnancy I still wanted it to be as natural as possible however they wanted to induce me early due to my condition. This pregnancy everything has went fine with no medical issues but I am just desperate to get him out safely. So I wanted to go for the induction to try and have a vaginal delivery again. However my baby is now 37 weeks and still in breech, they wont induce me with breech baby and dont recommend a breech delivery so I have booked in for a c-section. I was really scared beforehand and it was the last thing I wanted but how I have booked in I feel really relaxed in the knowledge that this is the safest thing for my baby.
If I were you I would just book in for the csection, there are so many variables for inductions/natural deliveries. I am looking forward to being in/out in 40 mins, not being exhausted after hours and hours of painful labour, having a healthy baby not put through the trauma of having to be delivered.
If you had asked me last week I would have said to go for induction but this week after booking in, i feel that its the right thing to do - also my babies estimated weight curently is 8lbs so he might be around 9lbs by the time he arrives, dont fancy pushing him out at that weight knowing what 6lbs felt like lol
Best of luck what ever you decide, I suppose you just have to do what feels right for you and what you are most comfortable with, at the end of the day - you and your babies health are the most important factors!
Good luck xxx
