Re: Is 11 days too early for c-section?!
DS2 was at 38 weeks, surrobaby was 39 weeks! Doc said he wouldn't let me go past 39 weeks just to be safe! He doesn't want my uterus being stretched past what it needs to!

Re: Is 11 days too early for c-section?!
typically most drs do it sometime around that 39 week mark. Give or take a day or two depending on if they only schedule them on certain days, etc. I know with repeat c sections they are usually more concerned with you actually making it to the scheduled one so it would depend on your previous history too as to how early you usually go as to sometimes if they might go a little on the earlier end.
With that being said. I'm due the 26th and my c section is being done the 16h (so about 11 days early) because he does them on Wen's scheduled and there's no way I'd make it to the 23rd with my previous history. My 2nd son was born at 36 weeks and 1 day via c section. I was dialated to 3cm at 5 months and on bedrest. I started showing major progression like I was going into labor at any moment and having consistant contractions at my appointment so he booked my c section for the next day or how ever it was done (it's been awhile) and my son had no complications.

First trimester u's are accurate withing about 7 days. It spreads out from there getting less accurate as the pregnancy progresses. Any c-section is a risky surgery, but an early one is not recommended as it really increases the risks to the baby. I would say, the cool date thing is not worth it in this case. Good luck with everything. |

Re: Is 11 days too early for c-section?!
that's what my dr and high risk specialist said too. The first trimester is the most accurate ones. Mine showed me ahead 5 days from 9 weeks on and hasn't changed. Some things show further ahead as we get in different weeks but not less.

Re: Is 11 days too early for c-section?!
My doc recommended that we do it at 38wks so the chances of me going into labor are slimmer.

Re: Is 11 days too early for c-section?!
I'm not sure I understand this; going into labor is a good sign that the baby is ready to be born! There is a lowered chance of complications for babies whose mothers went into labor. Are doctors worried that a woman will experience a uterine rupture in the first hours of labor?
