Mine was scheduled for 39 weeks 2 days. They didn't want me going into labor with DD in breech position.

I had an unplanned c section at exactly 38w, but my practice normally performs them anytime after 39w

Mine was scheduled for 38w ( I will never go past 38w bc of a previous late loss). I was going to need an amnio the day before to make sure the lungs were ok. My OB and MFM were both completely cool w/ 38w. I ended up going into labor at 37w and having my c/s then.

RCS- scheduled and at 40w 2 days

Planned c/s was at 40 weeks and 3 days. It wasn't "planned" until exactly 40 weeks though when there was zero progress of any sort. He'd drop and then come up later in the day which she said often means they can't fit. Had a level 2 u/s for size and she said it was against her best judgement to induce or let me go further. I was glad. She said with the size/shape of my pelvis there was no way he was coming out that way. So this time will be a rcs during the 39th week. If I go into labor sooner I have to go in asap because she doesn't want me to labor because of the fresh c/s scar.

Planned for 39 weeks; developed pre-eclampsia quite suddenly and had the section at exactly 37 weeks.

I am scheduled for a csection this time around and my doc scheduled it for the 39th week of my pregnancy.

35 weeks, emergency c/s, 36 weeks (lost all fluid), 37w (lost all fluid), this one is scheduled at 39w even, if I make it that far. I am already on biweekly fluid checks now.
