At how many weeks/days did you have your c-section?

NicoleWI · December 2012

Scheduled for Weds. and while I know baby is totally "ready," I still feel kind of bad about rushing him/her. My other two were overdue so I feel like this one wouldn't have probably come for another week or so on his/her own.

Neener73 · December 2012

39w2d, although my OB also would have been available at 39w6d.

I chose the earlier date because my mom and step-dad were flying in the weekend before (tickets were booked way before we knew that I'd have a c-section). Since DS was already estimated to be 9 lb 15 oz at 38w4d, I decided to choose the earlier date to give them more time to spend with DS. DS weighed 10 lb 6 oz, so the estimate was pretty accurate.

With DS I was 38 and DD came at 37 weeks.

newly_naugler · December 2012

Booked for tomorrow at 39 weeks and 3 days.

capulet · December 2012

I was scheduled for 39w2d with DS but my water broke at 38w4d. I was really overdue with DD so I was shocked I went into labor early, but I guess DS was ready!

39w6d delivered at Froedtert -- go Wisconsin!

stardust317 · December 2012

With DD, I was scheduled at 37 weeks for pre-e. With this baby, it's currently scheduled for 38 weeks/6 days.

mama&baby · December 2012

I was scheduled for a c/s at 41 weeks 2 days , but my water broke at 40 weeks 6 days. I labored for 16 hours before a c/s

aandg · December 2012

I was scheduled for 39w3d but she decided to come at 36weeks instead.

tawillers · December 2012

My first was at 40w2d, my second was at 40w4d.

Neither of mine were planned/scheduled.

#1 28w4d

#2 38w1d <---medically can't go past 38w

LosaJrTomasi · December 2012

I was scheduled for a csection at 39 weeks but ended up bleeding and having it done at 38 weeks and 4 days. My lo came out just fine. This was my 3rd section and by far the one that hurt the most!!

MAprincess · December 2012

My first was at 41 weeks 2 days. It was an unplanned c/s. I VBACed my second, but was told I wouldn't have to have a RCS until 41 weeks had I gone that route. I ended up VBACing at 41w1d. So, I just have long pregnancies!

If there is no reason to have the c/s that early, you can ask to push it back more. But you'd want to talk to your doctor about that.

TofuMama7 · December 2012

Mine is scheduled for 39 weeks 3 days.

I can relate to your feelings, for my son I had a natural birth at 41 weeks 6 days and feel like I'm somehow "cheating" this baby, but in the end a C-section is the safest option so I know we're doing the right thing.

Vegasbb · December 2012

39w2d. He didn't have any lung issues, but he did have jaundice which might have been due to being born "early". He was 7 lb 15 ounces, so hardly a tiny baby!

SarahRae85 · December 2012

My daughter was born at 36w4d. It was not a planned cesarean, nor were the circumstances preceding labor entirely natural (doctors assume it was residual trauma/stress from a bad car accident 3 weeks prior causing my water to break prematurely). She was perfectly healthy, went to NICU only for a quick check-up, roomed in with me, and was discharged before I was. We had minor jaundice issues, but nursing and some sun therapy had it gone within the first week.

jesselayne8 · December 2012

41wk2d after a failed induction.

Foutzie44 · December 2012

Was scheduled for 39w1d, went into labor at 39 weeks so he was born that day!

ahollo02 · December 2012

35 weeks. Water broke and DD was breech

Kie310 · December 2012

My RCS is scheduled for 39w1d if I don't go sooner on my own. My first was an unplanned c/s at 37 weeks because of pre-e.

HeartsOnABand · December 2012

I was induced at 39w4d due to having an estimated over 8lb baby with no sign of dilation and only 45% effacement. My induction was incredibly unsucessful and it ended up in an emergency c-section. DS was 8lbs14oz so they estimated well.

mamainseptember · December 2012

39w on the dot. Mine wouldn't do it before 39w and anything past that he said I'd risk going into labor.

alatham · December 2012

DD was 39weeks 4 days. DD was 39 weeks.

drewiekc · December 2012

39w3d. This one is scheduled for the same.

thehauffamily · December 2012

DS came at 35 weeks (water broke)
DD (4 yrs ago) was at 38 wks

BUT, things have apparently changed since then So, I'm not allowed to schedule before 39 weeks

So this baby girl is scheduled for 39 weeks 3 days! Hopefully she comes sooner!!!

anvloveskme · December 2012

39 w 3 d

CnAnA · December 2012

37w and change. My water broke, and 8 hours later I hadn't had a single contraction and she was still firmly planted in my ribs with no indication she was coming down any time soon. I opted for a c/s over pitocin.

theburitanii · December 2012

I'm scheduled at 38.5 weeks for this one.

Baby Bouchard · December 2012

39w with first and 38w with our second

laxkal23 · December 2012

36 weeks after induction for pre e. LO had the cord wrapped around his neck. He was born healthy other than low blood sugar and a little jaundice, he only spent 1 extra day in the hospital to monitor his bilirubin.

nawlinsgrl · December 2012

Mine was scheduled for 2 days before due date, but water broke 3 days before the scheduled time. I waited about 18 hours and labored, but ultimately had the c-section, since I stopped progressing after several hours at 5 cm.

Kie310 · December 2012

With my first 37 w 1 day after a failed induction at 37 weeks for pre-e.

This one is scheduled for 39w1d. 39w is the earliest they would schedule the c/s since I'm having a (thankfully!!) very uncomplicated pregnancy this time.

If something changes b/t now and then I could go early (Like if my BP starts to spike, they will just send me to the hospital and take him out because of my history).

Angela814 · December 2012

Mine is scheduled for 39 weeks this time.
