I kept thinking she would come earlier since my son did but she stayed put. It was a Monday though, blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905621 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 16:53:44 +0000 lioneyes 2905621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc scheduled mine at the appointment where she confirmed pregnancy, just to get it on the hospital's calendar- my hospital uses the laborist method where the person on call delivers you, so she put it on for her day of the week on call. She could not schedule it earlier than 39 weeks. I ended up going into labor early (again!) and had to actually call the practice AND the hospital to cancel the surgery lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905572 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 13:17:58 +0000 Mrsbells 2905572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: for my 3rd C-section we were 100% sure it had to be a C-section so my OB allowed me to schedule quite early after all the anatomy scans were completed. It was nice to have a set date and plan around that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905449 Wed, 11 Dec 2019 15:29:07 +0000 ttcgirl 2905449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following along to see others responses! I am pregnant with my third which will be a c-section and I already can’t remember how the last one worked 1.5 years ago :silly: I believe I scheduled it about a month in advance and it was scheduled for exactly 39 weeks (which also happened to be the day my preferred Dr. would be operating) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905155 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 20:02:04 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2905155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically the OBs here do it at 39 weeks. But my scar was very thin and they did not want me to labour on it, so I was scheduled for 38 weeks. But whether it was the friday or Saturday wasn’t decided until the Thursday. 🥴 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905137 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 17:13:04 +0000 Sams Mom 2905137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor scheduled mine once I passed my GD test, so about 24/25 weeks, I'm scheduled for 39 weeks on the dot. We were always planning on that date from my first appointment and I've been penciled into his OR book since 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905126 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 15:25:25 +0000 JennyPenny 2905126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jessiemuller88: Scheduling for 37 weeks would solve all my scheduling problems but I am 99% sure that with a singleton that'll be a no-go and I'm looking at 39 weeks at the earliest. I did end up browsing old threads about it and it seems like some people can't schedule officially until the hospital OR schedule opens up a few weeks in advance - which might be why yours couldn't be actually scheduled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905124 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 15:19:31 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2905124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have known the date for mine for a while, but my OB couldn’t actually schedule it until I was 3 weeks from delivery. I’m delivering at 37 weeks, so she made the date official at 34. Mine might be a little different with twins though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-schedule-your-repeat-c-section#post-2905119 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 14:48:51 +0000 JennyPenny 2905119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you chose to schedule a repeat c-section, how far along were you when you got to schedule it, and when did you schedule it for? </p> <p>I was just looking at my calendar for April when this little lady is due and it is already a hot mess. I know a scheduled c-section doesn't mean anything since baby can choose to come earlier, but it sure would feel nice to go ahead and have something on the calendar. </p>
