First birth was an emergency c section after very long labor, failed epidural and lots of pushing…. My OB told me I can plan my elective c section between 39-40 weeks which is 10/27-11/3.

Here are my scheduling considerations

- My daughters bday is 10/27 (she will be 3yo)

- Always thought I would want to avoid holidays (Halloween and Day of the Dead - baby’s father is Mexican and we have begun celebrating)

- no weekend scheduling (no 10/30 or 31st)

Kindve leaves us with 10/29 looking good? Or try to make it to 11/3? Birth #1 was exhausting, scary and stressful . I want this round to be calm and routine as possible.

Guess I feel like pushing a week away from

DDs bday could be better for future life but I worry about going into labor/being so uncomfortable at the end haha I also love October so two October babes appeals too.

What do you mamas think? TIA
