Hey Ruf

an elective c/s is a scheduled event...not at all like labor so to request that you have your c/s when you start labor is prob not something your ob will be too keen on...simply as it is not convenient, and there are a number of staff required for a c/s (6-8 staff)...

you can ask though for your elective c/s to be performed at 39 weeks, giving your baby as much time in utero as possible

so...talk with your ob...be open and honest, explain your feelings. There is always a compromise

good for you to look ahead to your baby's birth...and wanting it to be a special moment for you both

good luck
