Hi there,

I am having a planned C-section too. I was given two due dates at the beginning of my pregnancy - June 21st and June 24th. My Ob/gyn has chosen to go with the later date. At my last appointment, I didn't get to see my regular OB, but spoke to his partner about the planned C-section. The dates he gave me (based on the 24th of June) were 11th-17th of June. We've chosen June 14th, but will have this confirmed at the next appointment on April 12th.

My first dd was breech, and we were told then that the c-section had to be done 10-14 days before the due date, to minimise the risk of going into labour and necessitating an emergency C-section.

Hope this helps.

Toinette
