My sister had 2 elective c/sections with her girls. They were booked in just after 37 weeks. So 3 weeks early. No trouble, they were both absalutley fine.

If your not feeling comfortable with it, have a talk to you caregiver and voice your concerns. Remember, its your baby and your body and its your decison what happens and when. Giving birth at 38 weeks i dont think their would be a problem but yes, u are right, the longer the are in there gives more time for their little bodies to develop. You need to ask them why 38 weeks??

Have you given a VBAC any thought?
