I'm having an elective c-section through a public hospital, and i've been scheduled in for about a week or two now (booked in at 35weeks) But the doctors where saying they usually like to wait as long as possible before they actually schedule you in (no idea why) and that it doesnt matter how far along you are, they could schedule you in with a couple of days to spare.
I've actually been told that if i go into labour before my scheduled date, there won't the hectic rushing me in for an emergency cs. They just said come into hospital, and they'll do me on the last shift of the day, cause hey, everyone loves overtime. Lol. I like my doctor.
Plus it'll be an elective c-section, and i won't have the term "emergency" on my record.
Mine is a little different I am a public patient at a private womens clinic so the sprecialist i see is the guy doing the c-section. He gave me a date weeks ago and I will have mine at 39 weeks. He said for him it depended on school holidays as he was having some time of and going away so he new when he would be able to do it IYKWIM?
I think you would just be able to ask when you see your doc next?
I was given my date by my OB when i first saw him when i was around 12 weeks i think? I was given paperwork to book into the hospital (private) but the OB forgot to book me in, and caught on somewhere in my last tri i think, that he hadnt done it. I was booked in for spot on 39 weeks.
