I have a unicorunate uterus with an attached horn and my first baby decided to implant in the horn and ruptured it at 22 weeks.

I had not scheduled a csection because we had scheduled to try to have him flipped but he came the day before. My plan was to fight not to schedule at all because it was very important to me that my body go into labor first - I wanted to know he was ready. I am sure it would have been a fight w/ the drs but personally I wasn't concerned ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1800370 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 07:18:48 +0000 NeekieRose 1800370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39+3 for a breech baby. Scheduled it a couple weeks before that when she was still breech. (Sidenote, she did end up flipping the Friday before the Tuesday scheduled c-section, but we decided to keep the scheduled c-section). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1800356 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 06:51:34 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1800356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was scheduled for 39 weeks, but little man came at 34+6.

We did the c section after I went into labor since one of the babies was breech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1730385 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 10:27:34 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1730385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: My doctor would only schedule my c-section during my 39th week. With my daughter (breech), our due date was 12/30 and she was born on 12/27 on her scheduled c-section date. With my son, I was due on 8/14, but I went into labor early...my water broke and everything...but he was still born via a c-section on 7/31. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1730224 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 06:09:04 +0000 night cheese 1730224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729684 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 18:03:25 +0000 BananaPancakes 1729684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: I just felt like I would have liked to give him the extra time to try and flip. Also, it took him almost a week to fully clear the meconium and it was terrible. He obviously had a rough few days trying to pass it and I just have a feeling the extra week might have just helped mature his digestive tract a little more. I was just so in shock about having to have a csection that I fell apart instead of following my gut. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered, but it wouldn't have hurt. I was not effaced or dilated , I'd never had even so much as a BH contraction, so I doubt I would have gone into labor in that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729672 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:35:34 +0000 owlmom 1729672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40+1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729655 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 16:39:54 +0000 Mamasig 1729655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 - 39 weeks - that's the earliest they will schedule a c section unless it becomes medically necessary to do it earlier. </p> <p>DS2 was also scheduled at 39 weeks but bumped up because of low fluid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729622 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 16:03:07 +0000 travelgirl1 1729622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40+1 - I wanted her to cook for the full 40 weeks.

I wish I had fought to give him another week, though. He was breech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729433 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 11:51:48 +0000 shortcake 1729433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39 weeks exactly due to breech. My OB would not schedule sooner, but if baby is still breech, they want to do it before your EDD so you don't go into labor on your own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-scheduled-c-section-how-many-weeksdays-pregnant-were-you#post-1729281 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 09:23:27 +0000 spaniellove 1729281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one scheduled for 39w5d although it could have been any point after 39w, that's just what was left on their calendar. Later he wanted to move it up to 39w exactly but I ended up being induced at 38w5d. </p>
