C-section

Just to make sure baby is fully developed in terms of lungs etc. My midwife told me statistically speaking there are more complications with babies born at 37 or 38 weeks than 39. Obviously if you go into labour early you still get your c-section

There's risks to having an elective section before 39 weeks that aren't worth it unless the risks to baby/mum are higher due to medical conditions. So, if your baby stops growing it's ASAP, but if it's just something like baby is breech, it's 39+.

All of my babies born before 39 weeks and all were healthy I’m having an elective section and they going to do it before 39 weeks as I’m also high risk pregnancy and the consultant agreed it’s best not to wait until my labour starts. It’s all upto your consultant if you have one what they think it’s best but still if you go into labour before the section date you still gonna get a section just you might have to wait if any emergency going on

I am having an elective section at 39 weeks, I was simply told it was the earliest they would take me
