Mama's if not too intrusive

Why did you have a c-section before 39 weeks? I will eventually have a c-section, but it's all new to me..

They don’t tend to like to do a C-section before 39 weeks now! I had gestational diabetes on medication and had my son at 39+5 via section xx

I had c section 38+3 due to reduce movements

i had a c-section at 37 weeks due to me having preeclampsia.

I was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes and his size (9.5lbs at birth) during labour we discovered he was breeched and had a c-section. But the plan was always a c-section because of GD and his size. He just happened to slow down his growth right at the end so I attempted a vaginal birth but clearly the kid had different plans.

I developed Cholestasis

First section at 38+3 as baby decide to come 10 days before her original elective date. Second section at 37+2 due to ICP, having an early baby last time and a pathology lab strike meaning no bloods would be available on the week 38 date we had.

I had both c section around almost 37.5 weeks due to: 1st-growth restrictions and 2nd- water broke but chose to have a c-section after attempting a vaginal birth. I made it to 7 cms, but every night, we had oxygen level or blood pressure issues. This happened twice, and I didn't want to risk our lives any more.

I had mine at 39+2 due to bub being frank breech.

I had on at 37 weeks because my babe was breech and was in distress.

38 weeks due to having a previous abdominal surgery. They didn't want to take the chance of my abdominal muscles splitting open during active labor (the previous cut was apparently large).

I had c-section at 38 weeks due to me having preeclampsia

I had an emergency c-section after being induced at not progressing past 4cm I was exactly 38 weeks my baby was also growth restricted that was the reasoning for being induced

Before 39 weeks is due to a medical cause now. Both of mine were at 37+6 because I went into labor naturally. First was in destress and wasn't doing okay. Second I wanted a repeat and just happened to go into labor early

Gestational hypertension 37 weeks 4 days. They wanted to do it at 37 weeks but I asked them to wait 4 days.

I had c-section 38+5 because my water broke and baby was breach. I was booked to have via caesarean a few days later

Induced at 38+2 due to preeclampsia and unable to control it with medication anymore. Laboured for 2 hours but baby in distress which was unresolved with any measures and emergency c section

I had mine at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. I also had GB

They attempted to start induction at 38 weeks on the dot due to preeclampsia, water broke naturally, arrest of labor at 38 + 2 and then our vitals got concerning so off to the operating room we went.

37 weeks due to complete placenta previa
