Only options induction or c-section?

I wanted to see if anyone else had been given similar advice. I’m only 24 weeks but talked to the doctor about the birth. She said as I’m over 40 they would want me to either book a c-section or induction a week early. Im a bit annoyed as I would like to be given the opportunity to go into labour naturally and I think cutting it off a week early feels unnecessary. I know the risk of stillbirth goes up after 40 weeks but I feel like I should be able to given until then before the medical inventions kick in. Anyone else been in this situation and get told anything different? Thanks

Are you in the UK? Is there a reason you’re under medical care rather than midwife led that might be influencing their recommendations?
Look up the BRAIN acronym for decision making and go through the reasoning with your team.
