Hey there,
I'm 14w with DC3 and after two previous EMCS have decided to go for an elective one this time.
As I'm seeing the consultant on Thursday, here's my question: How is the date decided on? How much input do you get?
I'd like to have the CS as close to the due date as possible - my other two were late (1 week/ 10 days) so I think the chances of me going into labour beforehand are slim. I'd like to give this baby as much time as I can (clearly my babies need to bake longer than the average); and frankly I want to get the birth day as far away from Christmas as possible (due date 9 Jan).
So, what was your experience? I know they usually do it at 39w if there's no medical reason, but is there any room to negotiate?
