After 8 months of mentally preparing for a c-section birth doc has given me a 60% chance of success with vaginal birth. I have a small cervix and gestational diabetes but I've kept the gd under control and my baby is estimated as 6lbs 5oz at 35 weeks. Which means he isn't going to be thaaaat big at induction, maybe 7.12-8lbs.

So I have the choice of being induced and trying vaginal first. Thing is, I have been emotionally prepared for c-section so now the vaginal birth scares the shit out of me. I obviously know it's a better option and plan to try, but omg the feels right now.

Any words of solidarity? Anyone been through something similar in the past? Just looking for a bit of encouragement. TIA!
