At my last appt, doctor said she was booking me in for an induction at 40weeks. I said I wanted to think about it as I want baby to come out when its ready.
I've seen lots of scary stuff about induction on MN and elsewhere online.
Would it be safer for the baby / easier for me to have an elective c-section? Obviously there would be additional recovery time for ECS...
While I could refuse the induction and just wait for the baby to come, hospital says there is additional risk because my blood pressure is high (systolic only, diastolic is fine).

Hospital wants to induce at 40 weeks - should I ask for ECS instead?
