When did you have your elective C-section?

As in the title, which day did you have your elective c section??

My community midwife told me that they’re usually around week 39 so I assumed a couple of days either side of this. Spoke to a midwife at the hospital and she said they can be any time up until 39+6.

Apparently we won’t hear a date until a couple of weeks before so would like to know when others have had theirs? Obviously it’s not a massive difference either way but I’m quite enjoying the fact I can plan better for this one, I.e when to start mat leave etc and if it’s likely to come a week later then I might push my mat leave back a week.

The closer I get to my due date though the more likely I’ll go into labour spontaneously!
