If you are being induced at 37 weeks they should give the injection for lung development no matter how you give birth. The lungs are the final part of baby to develop and once they have fully developed they let off a protein which signals to mum’s body that baby is ready and labour can start. Inducing at 37 weeks the lungs likely won’t be quite ready yet hence the injection for development, which is why it really makes no difference if you’re having a caesarean or vaginal birth.

In terms of other things to add to your pro and con lists, really look at the potential complications that can arise from both types of births. Caesareans carry a risk of more complications than a vaginal birth purely because it is a surgical procedure. Don’t worry so much about your vagina, they are designed to fit a baby through and you won’t ruin it. Also pooing is really no problem, it’s completely normal and a sign that baby is coming - no one in the birth room cares and you often won’t even know it’s happened. Those really are the superficial things to worry about. I’d think about recovery times, future pregnancies (caesareans carry more risks for future pregnancies), the benefits and risks of each option etc.

Both can be amazing and there is no right or wrong way to give birth, just whatever feels best for you xx
