Rescheduling My Csection?

Hey Moms! :)

Ok so my csection is scheduled for the 28th, and my sister is coming down from school for Thanksgivin Break, but wont be here to spend time with the baby or help my granparents (busy people) watch my 2yr old son while im in the hospital. She leaves the morning i have my csection. Is there any way i can reschedule it for next week sometime instead of the 28th? Should i call my doctor and ask?

P.S.

I have a OB Appt on the 22nd.

    We honestly wouldn't be able to tell you. It depends on your doctor, hospital and availability. Also, will you still be within 39 weeks if you change it to earlier? I would honestly call first thing on Monday that way you can see ASAP if they are able to change it for you.

    If your due date is 12/2 like your profile says you will not be 39 weeks until this Friday 11/25.  I don't think doctors are allowed to do it earlier than 39 weeks without a medical reason.

    If this is true then no my doctor's wouldn't do it. You have to be 39wks to get a rcs. Also my OB practice doesn't do rcs on holidays or weekends. Friday after tday is considered a holiday to them too.

    I guess you can ask but don't be surprised if they say no.  How many weeks you are and why you need a c/s probably factor into the Drs decision.

    Like the others said,  you can always ask, but a lot of doctors/hospitals won't do a scheduled section before 39 weeks without a medical reason.  And personally, for me I wouldn't do it before 39 weeks either.  The are studies that show that c/s babies born before 39 weeks have higher risk of respiratory issues.

    We have no idea what your dr will allow. Most can't deliver before 39w unless there are medical reasons.
