Induce or C section?

Hi All, My bb scan estimated weigh around 3.5kg at week37+5 and my gynea told me that mine quite big. Ask me to reconsider on my birth plan -natural and induced is not 100%. Some frenz of mine told me my gynea trying to smoke me due to his own convenience and ask me to induce. And the estimated weight alway less when bb pop. BUT i also seen cases like bb estimated wt 3.5kg and induced fail... their mom still end up to e c-sect. Confuse me....😏should i go for induced or as my gynae recommended?

My gynae advised me to wait till 39th wk to decide induction or c-sect as he said baby's lungs wld be better developed by then. I tried everything frm walking alot, squatting, breast stimulation etc to dilate but still 0cm. Gynae gave the option to induce but he also told us of the risk tt there is chance it'll fail cz my baby was still high up, being a petite mom, it cld perhaps also be tt my birth canal is small. So at my last appt at 39th wk, we decided to do a csect as my hub and I don't want to risk baby's shoulder dislocation or using vaccum or forceps. And it was a blessing in disguise as upon birth, we saw tt baby's cord was wrapped ard his neck, not so tightly but cld have cause complications if I still gave birth naturally. It cldn't be seen on ultrasound. So, u may want to discuss with ur gynae again. Different moms have different situations. I don't think ur gynae wld suggest tt out of convenience. Oh btw my baby was 3.8kg.
