Scheduled date keeps changing....

My actual due date is 12/10 and after talking to one of the OB's in the office we scheduled the date for 12/07.  I know it's only 3 days before my due date but I want to carry my baby for as long as possible.  On a visit 2 weeks ago, with the OB I usually see, she said that waiting that long is asking for trouble.  She said she was afraid I will go into labor and then, because of my size, we would have more complications.  So we rescheduled the date for 12/03, right at 39 weeks.  I wasn't happy but will do what is best for the baby.  Then, at my appointment last week (I go every week due to some BP issues), the head OB said there was no reason to move my date, I had 1 c-section 6 years ago and there wouldn't be a problem waiting until the 7th. But, she followed that up with " I don't think you'll make it to December 3 anyway because of your BP issues but we can keep the date at 12/07 because that's what you want"   I just need to know when to tell my husband and parents to take off of work.  This is so frustrating.....

    I had both of my c/s at 39w5d and I was fine both times. I, too, wanted to wait as long as possible. There is always a risk of early labor, I don't think that a couple days will make that big of a difference.

    Just because you're having a scheduled c/s doesn't mean you'll actually have the baby the day it's scheduled so make sure you're husband is prepared for possibly having to take other days off.  My sister went into labor a few days before her scheduled c/s's with 2 of her kiddos.

    This happened to me, also for BP issues. Like PPs said, you may not know when it will happen. I was told on a Wednesday afternoon that I would be having my c-section that Friday at 35 weeks because the fluid retention had gotten so bad. It is frustrating but you kind of just have to go with the flow, since it is whatever is best for you and baby. Hopefully their work will be flexible with the dates.
