I am 31 weeks and have a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks because she’s breech and to minimize damage to her back. The only reason it’s two weeks earlier is because it’s twins, my pediatric neurosurgeon said that the bigger and closer to term babies with SB are the easier their recovery. Ask your doc, but I imagine it’s quite possible to go to term if everything else looks good.
Hey sorry to hear that they told me they might think about induce me because am due on the 23 of December and no doctors be around on Christmas and they need do the surgery next day but I don’t know ❤️

I think it’s really important to have the back closure surgery the next day, at least if it’s an open spina bifida, so making sure the doctor is around is a good idea. My docs are not worried about my babies arriving two weeks early, and full term technically starts at 39 weeks. So maybe ask for someday the week of December 10 if they want to induce you early. I’m in a big SB parent group on Facebook and it seems very common to be scheduled instead of going into labor naturally.
Yeah her back is open ca u send me the group please this is my 4 baby x

It’s called Spina Bifida: A parenting support group. They’ll need to approve your request to join but it’s quick, there’s a lot of supportive parents in there 😊 If you need anything you can message me here or on FB, our babies are due so close together!
When u due x

That’s the one!
I’m due December 26th, but my c-section is the 13th. So sounds like our babes will arrive maybe a week or less apart
I hope everything go well for u I think I text u before on the message but u didn’t text back x
