When did your ob schedule c section?

Question

I possibly could have my second breech baby on our hands. I was wondering when your ob scheduled your c section. Mine has talked about the 37-38 week mark but wasn't sure if that is typical or if its because my health issues.  I have an enlarged heart and have had arrhythmia issues so i am figuring this is why. But my first c section i had at 38 weeks.

Answer

37 is the earliest most will do unless you have a major issue that seems it riskier for you or the baby and sooner is needed. Most will try and get closer to 39 weeks if safe.

Answer

My doctor said he would only schedule at 39 weeks.

Answer

Mine scheduled me for 39 weeks when my son was breech

Answer

My hospital will not schedule before 39 weeks unless absolutely necessary since 39 weeks is when a baby is considered full term and for insurance purposes.

Answer

Our first (breech, preeclampsia, blood disorder) was 37 weeks. Our second (same blood disorder) was 38 weeks. We had 18 hours notice for our first and 4 days notice for our second.
