Advice?!?! c-section vs natural..

Okay, so I went into false labor a couple of weeks ago. Nov 26 is/was my due date... I had a docs appointment and he said my baby was to big she weighs 8.2 ounces as of today and since its my first baby he doesn't want her to get stuck or whatever but anyways .tomorrow I see him again..  he's going to give me options on either getting a c section- and natural. I honestly don't know which to choose! I don't want to get get induced and.not open and then have to go through a c section.. cause it would be worthless. Or should I just go right in with the c section? -_- help please advice! Tomorrows the big day that I choose!! - sorry that its to long.

I would try natural! 8 lbs 2 oz is not that big!And chances are baby is smaller than 8 lbs 2 oz. As u/s measurement can be off either direction. C section recovery time is a lot worse than natural! I delivered my first at 7 lbs 8 oz. My mom delivered me at almost 10 lbs with no epidural so its still possible to deliver natrually

Oh, and my son's cord was around his neck twice. Vaginal birth with induction and he's sitting here slapping my leg right now. Good luck! :)

Epidurals are definitely worth it and don't hurt half as bad as actual labor. If it's pain you fear, seek the epidural, not natural labor lol
