A member asked:
Can i choose c-section instead of induction and i'm 41 weeks 1 day pregnant?

Don't do it!!: C-section should be avoided unless your doctor thinks it is medically necessary. Induction increases the risks of needing a c-section, but you you never "choose" this. It is riskier for you and for the baby!
