C section ?

I had a c section with my first child. With my second will they do the c section a week early? Did you get to pick your date?

Re: C section ?

  • I have my section scheduled for this Thurs, which is a week early. They gave me the date and asked if I liked it. I am fine with it, so we scheduled. I guess you can pick if it is close to the day they want you to go.

  • They scheduled mine about 10 days before she was due.  I picked the date...sorta.  I said "What about Feb 28" and the doc said she'd be at a conference so we went with Feb 27.

  • My doctor scheduled mine one week before my due date.  I was the first scheduled c-section on Friday morning which was nice because I was able to go home then on Monday.
  • I had my first c-section after going through the whole labor pushing bit 10 days early.  I also had my second c-section 10 days early ...
  • They called me with the date. I had her at 38 weeks, 6 days. 39 weeks would have been a Saturday, and my OB doesn't do scheduled c/s on weekends.

    I liked it, though, because it was a Friday, my husband could have 3 days off, and it was my FILs birthday.

  • I only had a C-section with my third child, but my OB scheduled it at 38 weeks.  She said that's when she typically schedules them.
  • With #1 - breech, failed version, scheduled c at 39w2d.

    With #2 - tried for vbac so they let me go as long as possible.  Scheduled c at 3 days late :-)  Normally with #2 my OB office would do them at 39w.

    They let me pick the date, but I didn't want to choose their birthdays so I let the OB pick the dates for both instead.

  • Mine was scheduled for 8 days before my due date.  They may let you pick a date within a couple days of being a week early, my doctor just schedules everything on Wednesday  normally since that is the day she is at the hospital. 
  • I had mine 10 days before my EDD.  My OB said I could do any day I wanted, but the only days that *she* could do the c/s was Aug. 23 and Aug. 26, otherwise another doctor in the clinic would do it.  I picked Aug. 23.
