Dr declined to do a membrane sweep due to GBS coming back positive

38weeks and 5 days today. Went for my weekly check up, I planned on getting a membrane sweep but she told me I couldn't get that because my results came back positive for GBS. My first was born via emergency c section in January 2025 at 41+1 weeks so it would be exactly 18 months apart. I'm hoping and praying for spontaneous labor, I declined induction at 39 weeks with the first provider from the same practice because he was too pushy on that and not really supportive so I asked for someone else for the rest of my visits and this Dr is more supportive of my vbac but she also told me is best not to wait it out too long and to induce at 40weeks and a few days so probably 40 weeks and 4 days. Now she also said today that if I do end up getting induced i won't be able to get misoprostol due to the fact that I'm positive for GBS since I would need to be put on antibiotics? I was so confused but also exhausted today and totally didn't clarify everything 🤦🏻‍♀️ when I got in the car I was like wth was I just told... but now I'm just thinking like is this even a good idea to try for a VBAC due to all what seems to be little complications or should I just go ahead and schedule a c section at this point? Anyone with a similar situation? 😭

Not my story but I had a friend told me at her OB they told her the baby was too big and that she wasn't a candidate for vaginal delivery due to this, not with the exact words "tight" but they were referring to that. I'm pregnant with my second baby hoping for a VBAC at 18mo postpartum and i know for a fact my baby is big so is there such of thing to worry about?
