Induction VBACs?

I’m 30 weeks and have my birth options meeting soon. I desparately want a vaginal birth but baby is measuring big. My first was 8lbs 6 and I feel much bigger this time around so my gut tells me it is a big baby.

First c-section was a ‘failure to tolerate induction’ (as it is suppportively described in my notes 😳). Baby was showing signs of distress and as it happens, malpositioned with a tilted head, nuchal cord and her fingers in her mouth to top it off! I was 41 weeks (41+3 by delivery) with a Bishop’s score of 3 initially. So my body was not at all ready for labour.

I know spontaneous labour is such a strong indicator for a successful VBAC but I think with this baby measuring big that they will likely suggest induction 😩 any experiences or advice would be great.
