At how many weeks did you have your ELCS?

[Changerofname987654321]

We are thinking of ttc for baby 2 and this time I will probably go for an elcs.

To help us when to decide to start trying, when did you have your elcs?

TIA

Unless there's any concerns they usually book you for the first available date after 39 weeks.

It is very rare for uk medical insurance to cover pregnancy so I would check your cover first

Thanks. Ignore the above post some how I posted on the wrong thread.

How will that help you decide when to ttc? I had mine bang on 39 weeks (breach baby).

I would prefer if possible for the baby to be born from September onwards as I don't want them to the youngest in the year group but I am very aware that plans don't always happen.

39 weeks exactly! But not sure how you can plan so precisely

We would not start ttc until 35 weeks before September. Having a baby later would be fine but for school things and because it would make a bigger difference to my maternity leave I would prefer not to have another baby before September.

I get the September thing, I just didn't realise you needed to be so specific.

Mine was 38+6 because my consultant likes them done on Thursdays

39 weeks exactly

National guidelines say not before 39 weeks unless a medical indication. So first slot after you turn 39 weeks.

39 weeks exactly for me

39+1 here. Would have been 39 exactly but we gave DS one last chance to stay head down. He didn't.

39+3 because of bank holiday weekend.

37+4 but that was twins (you never know )
