Scheduled c-section date

mrs.cam

a post on third tri made me wonder... if you have scheduled a c-section when was it?  My OB told me it could be as late as 39 weeks if I continue to do as well as I am so far.  (AHH!)

I'm hoping for 36 wks....it may be a bit past but, nowhere near 39...god help me!!!!

It scares me too, I was talking to my doctor about when they would likely induce- and he said there are several factors that would influence that.. one of them being if "my cervix was favorable"   He also said that it is unlikely that I will go farther than 37 weeks, especially since this is my first pregnancy (whew!)

I'm not ready to go into labor yet but I bet in about 2 weeks I will be! I couldn't imagine carrying these guys to 39 weeks

Mine was scheduled for 36 weeks exactly.  This was due to the fact that they shared a placenta and Baby B was not growing as well as baby A and they felt it best to get her out.  Baby A was born at 5 lbs 2 oz and Baby B at 4 lbs 3 oz.  Baby B had to due NICU time because of her size but had no breathing/eating issues.  She was diagnosed with IUGR however.  They are both healthy but I wish I could have gone a bit longer, at least 37 weeks.  The last part is so hard, but it is really best if you can keep them in as long as possible....however with a shared placenta there are some risks for keeping them in after 38 weeks.

Mine is scheduled for 38w3d. I am depressed thinking about making it that long - but I know it will make for some healthy babies. I am selfishly hoping they try to escape on there own sometime next week.
