C section or Induction with preeclampsia?

I am 36 weeks pregnant with DCDA twins and been in hospital for the last week with moderate preeclampsia. Both babies are absolutely fine and have been monitored closely, no concerns about their wellbeing at moment.
Been let home now, with monitoring every 3 days.
I have a consultant appointment on Thursday (7th) when I will be a day or two off 37 weeks, if I haven't gone into labour naturally by then they want to discuss my options for getting the ball rolling the following week, either by induction of ELCS.
If the preeclampsia gets worse before then they will intervene sooner.

Both twins are head down and we have been planning a vaginal delivery throughout, so I would prefer to be induced.

Does anyone know if having preeclampsia will change my consultants preference towards either induction or ELCS?
