At how many weeks/days did you have your c-section?

Scheduled for Weds. and while I know baby is totally "ready," I still feel kind of bad about rushing him/her. My other two were overdue so I feel like this one wouldn't have probably come for another week or so on his/her own.

39w2d, although my OB also would have been available at 39w6d.

I chose the earlier date because my mom and step-dad were flying in the weekend before (tickets were booked way before we knew that I'd have a c-section).  Since DS was already estimated to be 9 lb 15 oz at 38w4d, I decided to choose the earlier date to give them more time to spend with DS.  DS weighed 10 lb 6 oz, so the estimate was pretty accurate.

I was scheduled for 39w2d with DS but my water broke at 38w4d.  I was really overdue with DD so I was shocked I went into labor early, but I guess DS was ready!

DD born 10/10/07 * DS born 11/25/11

You'll be over 39 weeks so I think you are going to be fine.  I don't know about your area, but in my area there must be some campaign from March of Dimes (which I know is a national thing) going on about waiting for 39 weeks (Im assuming they mean for induction or RCS). 

Annnddd...I just read you are in Germantown, I'm in Green Bay

With DD, I was scheduled at 37 weeks for pre-e.  With this baby, it's currently scheduled for 38 weeks/6 days.

I was scheduled for a c/s at 41 weeks 2 days , but my water broke at 40 weeks  6 days. I labored for 16 hours before a c/s
Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Can't decide if we're one and done or we want two! Seeing what happens... not actively TTC now, just keeping track of cycles.

I was scheduled for a csection at 39 weeks but ended up bleeding and having it done at 38 weeks and 4 days. My lo came out just fine. This was my 3rd section and by far the one that hurt the most!!

My first was at 41 weeks 2 days.  It was an unplanned c/s.  I VBACed my second, but was told I wouldn't have to have a RCS until 41 weeks had I gone that route.  I ended up VBACing at 41w1d.  So, I just have long pregnancies!

If there is no reason to have the c/s that early, you can ask to push it back more.  But you'd want to talk to your doctor about that.

39w3d and I feel like she was ready.  I'd been having contractions all week, so I'm actually surprised I didn't go into labor.

Mine is scheduled for 39 weeks 3 days.

 I can relate to your feelings, for my son I had a natural birth at 41 weeks 6 days and feel like I'm somehow "cheating" this baby, but in the end a C-section is the safest option so I know we're doing the right thing.

39w2d. He didn't have any lung issues, but he did have jaundice which might have been due to being born "early". He was 7 lb 15 ounces, so hardly a tiny baby!

My daughter was born at 36w4d. It was not a planned cesarean, nor were the circumstances preceding labor entirely natural (doctors assume it was residual trauma/stress from a bad car accident 3 weeks prior causing my water to break prematurely). She was perfectly healthy, went to NICU only for a quick check-up, roomed in with me, and was discharged before I was. We had minor jaundice issues, but nursing and some sun therapy had it gone within the first week.

My RCS is scheduled for 39w1d if I don't go sooner on my own. My first was an unplanned c/s at 37 weeks because of pre-e.

I was induced at 39w4d due to having an estimated over 8lb baby with no sign of dilation and only 45% effacement. My induction was incredibly unsucessful and it ended up in an emergency c-section. DS was 8lbs14oz so they estimated well.

DS came at 35 weeks (water broke)
DD (4 yrs ago) was at 38 wks

BUT, things have apparently changed since then :/ So, I'm not allowed to schedule before 39 weeks

So this baby girl is scheduled for 39 weeks 3 days!  Hopefully she comes sooner!!!

37w and change.  My water broke, and 8 hours later I hadn't had a single contraction and she was still firmly planted in my ribs with no indication she was coming down any time soon.  I opted for a c/s over pitocin.
