Thanks ladies! I still don't understand why my doctor thinks that 37weeks 4days is too early. It seems that a lot of your scheduled sections happened in the 37-38 week time frame.
My doctor suggested 39 weeks and so at that time I did some research beause I was concerned about risks. There is very little research online...but what little I found suggested 38/39 weeks, so at 39/2 I had a C-section due to positioning (6lb13oz each). Since my birth I have read a couple articles concerning brain growth (size) in utero during the last several weeks. I would tend to agree with your doctor.
