I have a history of cervical cancer and had several surgeries in the past to get rid of it. I had a cerclage at 15 weeks to prevent pre-term labor since so much work has already been done on my cervix. My doctor and I discussed that she would do a c-section if I would prefer one, only because of my history. My aunt, who is a fantastic midwife, said normally she would tell me to try and have our baby naturally but with my history, she too thinks a c would be better for me.
My question is how early can I schedule it? What's the average? 37-38 weeks??? I haven't a clue and I know my doctor will go over things with us but I am just curious.
Re: C-Section?
Our hospital would only a c-section to be scheduled at 37+ weeks unledd there was a medical reason it needed to be sooner.
I am scheduled for 37w2d
My dr won't schedule anything before 39 weeks.
