C-section at 35w5d

El

I'm hoping for some comfort in stories from other moms that had to deliver early. My C-section is scheduled for 35w & 5 days because my placenta is still too low. I was really hoping that it would move enough that I could make it to 39 weeks, but the doctor is not comfortable going past 36 weeks.

If anyone has had to deliver between 35 and 36 weeks, what was it like for your LO? How big was he/she and how much NICU time did he/she need? Were you able to breastfeed? I really desperately want to be able to breastfeed since I can't give her a full 40 weeks to cook.
