How many weeks were you when baby was delivered by scheduled csection?

Question

How many weeks were you when baby was delivered by scheduled csection? If you were  scheduled below 39 weeks, what was the reason? Was it elective or medical reason? Please no judging on this post.

Answer

Mine was scheduled at 39 weeks but I went into labor at 35 weeks and they did the csection then.

Answer

First born was 42+ weeks my second was a scheduled csection so i was 39 weeks and 3rd will be the same unless he decides otherwise lol

Answer

39 weeks is standard anything before this and c section baby's can struggle to breath. Normally only done prior for medical reasons and they usually inject you with steroids to strengthen baby's lungs prior. C section baby's have a higher risk of being admitted to special care prior to 39 weeks

Answer

Mine was unplanned after a failed vaginal birth but my doctor won't schedule before 39  weeks for a regular pregnancy.

Answer

34weeks with medical reason. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia.

Answer

36 weeks for a medical reason. Had a cyst on my ovary that grew huge during pregnancy. The cyst had to be removed so a c section was the best choice. Had a planned c section set for 39 weeks but only made it to 36 because the cyst was twisting. When they took the cyst out at the c section it was 6 inches long and twisted 4 times. The ovary and tube had to go, too. The cyst twisting was the most painful experience of my life but I loved my c section! It was so quick and recovery has been very smooth.

Answer

This baby is scheduled at 37 weeks due to medical reasons.  I had a classical c section with my son at 27 weeks so I am not allowed to go into labor at all.
