This is my 3rd C and dr is letting me go till 39wks 1day however if I got really big I'm sure he would concider doing it earlier perhaps to be on the causious side?. I went to 39wks with my second. My ob isn't overly concerned if I go into labour although I would have to get to hospital asap to have an emergency C. With an elective the ob (even private) still has to fit the op into the hospitals schedual and his/her own maybe that had something to do with them going in early? does seem strange though doesn't it?
I have heard of some women having very thin uturine walls which might explain it and it means rupture is more of a risk plus other complications but apparently they would have to check during a c/s to know that. I have also heard it can depend on your scar tissue and how you healed but I doubt it's very comon.
I know induction is out because it puts too much pressure on the uterus too quick and there is more of a risk of rupture.
Good luck Kris!! and if you do go overdue maybe you could try acupunture or something? worth a try.

Hi Nic great to have another member of the exclusive C club only 6 weeks to go woohoo!!

I have a question for everyone, were you warned about having anymore children after your 2nd pgcy? or even asked if you wanted your tubes tied? I was warned with my 2nd but there was no reason other than the subsiquent risks involved with c/s's and my ob(not the same as 2nd) has warned me again not to have anymore and tried to talk me into having my tubes tied again which I really don't want to do. I don't plan on anymore children but I don't want my choice taken away either.
