Answer

My daughter was breech so we had to have a c section. My doctor just was like “you wanna have your baby on this day?” And we said yeah and she scheduled it lol she told me they don’t do anything earlier than 39 weeks unless 100% necessary. I had my daughter at 39+1

Answer

It really depends if you have any other reason to deliver. But sometimes the placenta previa corrects itself so they will look at that. And then set a date around 39-40weeks. Unless you go into labor earlier.
