Induction: baby measuring behind

Annie 🇬🇧

I have been told to get induced at 38+5 cause the baby is measuring behind.

My scans say forward growth but still a pound or less behind though my fundal height measures 38 today ( I am 37+5 today)

I'm overwhelmed, it seems a bit too much! They say the baby might go into distress and might need a c section. I'm scared and don't know if it's a right course of plan? Or can I just wait ask for another scan?

Anyone who has been through it?
