Currently 35 weeks and have meeting with consultant soon to decide on birth options. But after some advice/opinions as still currently undecided. Bit of background Previous birth was csection at 36 weeks due to position of baby had section at 36 weeks due to waters breaking. Everything going ok ish this pregnancy however baby is above 90th percentile. Wouldn't mind trying a natural birth but would like baby to be here and be home for xmas due to other child (due 28th) am also concerned that if I opt for a natural birth and go into labour around due date size of baby may result in assisted delivery (which I do not want) or csection anyway. Also not keen on going overdue then been induced. Also dr at hospital was pushing towards VBAC and said theres a 60% chance I would have a normal delivery, those odds don't seem that convincing. With csection at least I would have an idea of date and know what to expect. Midwife and at a previous appointment around 30weeks someone mentioned big baby trial which would mean induction at around 38 weeks but this hasnt been mentioned again. My other option is do I just book the csection and see if I go into spontaneous labour before then and then ask for natural delivery. Anyway just wondered which way delivery people would be swaying more towards as was told to go to appt with a decision. Also is it 39 weeks when they usually perform elective sections?

I had an EMCS. If I were to have another baby I would have a planned section. I like the predictability
