scheduled c section ??

baby2121 · February 2010

Hi- My dr has scheduled my c section for when i hit 37 weeks on the dot,, Isnt this unlikely for twins? Has anyone made it to 37 weeks?

I made it to my scheduled c/s at 38w.

From what I have seen 37 is pretty common. Its the goal because 37 weeks is considered full term.

the average twin delivery is 35-36w, but plenty go to term. Most OBs will only let you go to 38w, some 39w... there is risk associated with letting you go too far - placenta deteriorates, etc.

37w is pretty early if you aren't having any problems - is there a reason he chose that week?

I made it to 38w1d with no signs of labor. Many on here have made it to term... and many have had preemies - it's a crap shoot.

Mine is not yet scheduled but doc and I are planning to schedule sometime around 37 weeks if I make it that far. I had a c/s with DD and will be having a repeat either way. I'm due in July in South Louisiana so I suspect that the heat and humidity will do me in prior to that.

we chose 37 weeks becasue I have been having contractions for a few weeks and am starting to efface. Both babies seem to be over 5 lbs, and my dr really doesnt think I will make it to 37 weeks but he wont schedule before.. He said im past the "safe" point.

I delivered at exactly 38 weeks, the day before my scheduled C-section.

36 weeks,6 days (got that extra day by 35 minutes!) My doc wouldn't schedule the c 'til 38 weeks.

Mine will not schedule any earlier than 37 weeks if there are no problems. If I make it that far and require a c section, I'll be scheduled in for the week between 37 and 38 weeks.
