How early was your c/section?

Mine was 36 weeks but it was an induction for pre eclampsia which ended with an emergency c/section.

Very interesting, I had always thought it was around 38 weeks. Bub is due March 17 & we were originally told March 1st-10th which fits in with that.

I'm happy for him to stay in as long as he needs, I just thought it was interesting that they are doing them later now.

My elective c section was 39+1, which was standard for my ob

My elective was 38+5

My OB said they like to do it as close to 39 weeks as possible, the longer they stay in the better, mine was at 38+6 cos that was the closest date they had free in their bookings.

With DD she was delivered at 38 + 2, my Ob preferred to deliver between 38-39 weeks and the twins were born at 37 + 4 (same Ob), I was originally booked in for 38 + 4 with them but he took pity on me because I was so large, uncomfortable and had sever PUPPS rash as well. When they were born he told me they could have stayed in for another week easily.
