AIBU to refuse induction and request c section?

[FanaticalFox]

I am now 40+7. Induction booked for Wednesday however its likely in my view that I'll need a csection as the baby is on the right and should be on my left according to the midwife (its my first baby) and she is large - at least 9 pounds they think. I really don't want to go through natural childbirth with a big baby especially after reading how the lack of pain relief is used on other threads (i want an epidural straight away which the midwife agreed with as she said induction is more painful than natural labour)
I just feel like I'm going to go through potentially almost 24 hours of 2 pessaries and a gel and then need a csection anyway.

So i want to know if i can refuse induction if the baby is still on the right (or just refuse it is general) and request today to be booked for a csection. What are my chances?! Thanks all.

And enjoy your baby and heal fast xxxxxxx

i was induced, baby in same position as yours, the whole labour was 1hr 45 from start to finish, our authority have one of the lowest c sec and epidural rates in the country, which they seem to pride themselves on, there is no way you would get a c sec out of them unless it was an emergency, or absolutely necessary, or if you went down the route of 'it could have an adverse affect on my mental health'

sorry posted too soon, so it would very much depend on which health authority you are with op
