What week for elective c/s?

[IceCreamSundae]

We'll be having an elective c/s this time around, just wondering at what week they are usually done?

[Katcha]

I think it's normally about a week before their due date. I had mine at 39 weeks & 1 day.

[Fuchsia!]

i had mine the day before i was due :D but that was only cause he was booked up!

I think they will do it anywhere from 38 weeks

39 weeks and 1 day for me too. It used to be 38 weeks but they have apparently changed it to 39 weeks now according to my ob.

Yeah it is 39 weeks now, i asked about going at 38 weeks this time round cause pregnant with #3 because DS2 was over 10 lb and had breathing difficulties, and my Ob said he doesnt like taking earlier than 39 weeks because the earlier they are the more problems they can have or something.
