Another c section??

Question

It's come down to the wire. I have had to have an emergency c section with my second and now they are telling me I have no choice (basically) but to have another c section with my third. I know the risks involved with trying naturally,  but they want to schedule it a week before my due date 10/29. Why? Is it Bc it's more conveinent for them? The doc was all like ok hows oct 24th? Why can't it be on my due date?

Answer

I've never had a c section but my sisters have (one sister had 3, one had 4) usually they schedule them early so you won't have the risk to go into labor on your own

Answer

If they're trying to schedule it the week before your due date, there's probably some reason for that. Call and ask.

Answer

Generally they are scheduled 7 days ahead of time to prevent the mom from going into labor. Chances of infection are way higher for moms who labor before their section.

Answer

You could have a VBAC they should let you try for one not rushing for whats easy for them .

Answer

First was an emergency....My second one was scheduled at 39 weeks :) haven't talked to dr yet but this one will prob be close to 39 weeks too...

Answer

Mine was scheduled also not sure way but only 4 days before due date. My first was an emergency so it was scheduled next day 2 days before due date. I have to have my third one in November not sure if it will be scheduled though.
