Induction or c section: small baby

I am 36 weeks pregnant. Since 28 weeks baby is not growing at all. Hes happy, moving. I had few ultrasounds and hes on 5percentile now. I am told next week they will induce me. They cant use strong medications so will use balloon. I am also told that weak babies they also have concerns for normal delivery.

Now i am concerned if I should go for induction or ask for c section. If baloon method doesn’t work than i might still have to go forfor c section.

Just need opinion if a anyone in same situation. Is induction is with baloon method good option?. Or good idea to ask for c section. I am concerned for baby’s growth.

I would say go for induction, if its prolonged, they will convert to c-sec
