C-section MoMs...

If you made it to you section date, when was it scheduled? I saw my OB today and she said my MFM may say to schedule it for 38 or even 39 weeks (I see him next week and will ask). I was shocked. Not by 38 weeks, but 39 with a repeat c-section. I of course want them to stay in as long as possible but 39 weeks seems so long away. Ahhhh! Can I even hang in that long?

    My MFM won't let me go past 38 weeks (c-section or vaginally).  I have heard of some letting MOMs go longer though.

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

    I was originally scheduled for 37 weeks. My OB usually does it at 38 weeks, but due to their size and mine, she was ok with 37 weeks. I ended up having my C section at 36 weeks bc my growth ultrasounds showed baby A's growth slowing down. Both born healthy with no NICU time.

    The original plan was to have the C at 38 weeks to the day.  (Turned out I had an emergency one at 34 weeks, 5 days).

    I was scheduled at 38 and 4 days. Right before I hit 37, my ob decided to c sec on 37 exact. I was showing signs of labor and we didn't want me to go into labor. Sure enough, I showed up in full on labor.

    I wasn't allowed to go past 38 weeks. My c section was scheduled at 37wks5days b/c that's the day right before 38 weeks that my doctor was on call.

    I was induced at 38w1d, but had a c/s at 38w2d.  My OB said she didn't like twins going past 38 weeks.

    Yup same here.  My MFM says 38 weeks and my OB says 39 weeks. My OB is open to earlier but says I would have to get an Amnio for earlier than 39 weeks.  I dont think the MFM will agree with this tho.  Don't get too discouraged tho because with twins they could come on their own at any time really!  So even if you cant schedule until 39 weeks you can hold on to hope that it may be more like 37!  lol

    Thanks ladies. I'm just trying to decide when to have my mom come into town. We're military so we have no family nearby. My sister is 4 hours away and has two kids of her own so she can't just come out and wait it out with me.

    I'll see what my MFM says next week and go from there.

    My OB wouldn't let me go past 38 weeks (c-section or vaginally) and my c section due to breech Baby A was scheduled for 37w6d because that's the latest time the hospital could schedule it for.

    My OB schedules them for 38 weeks. 38 weeks for me was a Saturday and the following Monday was booked, so I had a c-section at 37w6d. I would have been induced at 39 weeks if they were in the right positions.
