The operation is the same and the risks are the same.
I just discussed this with my OB this afternoon, and he said that scheduled c/s is safer than emergency, as in an emergency c/s you aren't prepped for surgery eg, you have food in your stomach etc. which can bring it's own complications. He also said that it's unlikely that the baby will turn on his own after 39 weeks. So sounds like he's more in favour of scheduled c/s, but we wouldn't have had "the talk" until 36 weeks anyway, which obviously would have been in greater depth.

But I have good news! Bubby turned, and is now head down with spine to the front \/ What a good boy I have Lets hope he stays that way.

Hope your bub co-operates too Dach
