At how many weeks was your c-section?

KMLP · September 2011

I may be going the c section route this time, due to having a lot of difficulties from my prior 4th degree episiotomy. Just curious as to when your planned c-section was scheduled for? 39 weeks or after that?

39 weeks 2 days.

RobynK · September 2011

My repeat (if VBAC doesn't happen) is scheduled for 39 weeks 3 days.
My original wasn't scheduled, I had pre-e and twins that weren't head down -- I was 35 weeks 5 days.

In general though my MFM schedules c/s for the 39th week.

My first was scheduled at 38 weeks...he arrived at 37 weeks

my second would have been scheduled at 39 weeks but PROM made his deliver at 36 weeks

this time I will be scheduled for 39 weeks.....I wonder if I will make it this time????

My first was scheduled at 40 weeks 1 day. My second was scheduled at exactly 39 weeks.

39w4d, my hospital won't do any scheduled c/s before 39w.

If I have an RCS it will be scheduled for 39 weeks (probably not exactly since my EDD's a Sunday). I think there is some flexibility depending on what OB I want to do the surgery.

I'm hoping for a VBAC this time around, but we will be scheduling a c-section at 41 weeks in case I don't go into labor on my own.

Same here. We'll schedule a c-section for sometime between 41 & 42 weeks in case I don't go into labor on my own. If I wasn't planning a VBAC, I wouldn't schedule one before 40 weeks.

My last c-section wasn't planned, but it was at 38 weeks. When we have another baby, my OB said we can pick any day after 38w5d.

LadyXaverian · September 2011

39w4d. Unscheduled.

618mom22boys · September 2011

C/S 1 38 weeks C/S 2 36 weeks both technically weren't planned. But #2 was going to happen before 37 weeks due to IUGR andlow fluid.

Quizzle · September 2011

40 weeks.

We'd been planning for me to go into labor and have her vaginally, but she got big enough that I ended up with my OB recommending I either be induced in my 39th week or have a c-section at 40. We scheduled it at 39w2d.

MrsCali_Bride · September 2011

Mine was scheduled for 37w5d but my daughter had other plans and broke her water a few days early. I delivered my twins at 37w2d.

aandg · September 2011

My c section was scheduled for 39w3d, but I ended up having it at exactly 36w due to some complications.

magdalina.h · September 2011

First was an emergency at 28w4d. 2nd was 38w1d. I can't go past 38w for risk of rupture because my 1st incision was a classical cut.

girllennon · September 2011

36 weeks, 6 days.

Was planning to have c-section at 39 weeks due to stubbornly being in frank breech position, but ended up having him sooner than planned due to dangerously low amniotic fluid and lack of movement for 2 days straight.
