You've made some interesting points, Miss Excited. I haven't been induced before (and don't want to be if I can help it) but I think I'd rather give induction and VB a go over going straight to c/s.
There's still every chance that you can have your baby vaginally if you're induced, and to me, that's preferable to surgery and it's potential problems. JMO. All the best for your birth!
