Last baby born 35weeks, will baby 2 be early?

[TotoAnnihiliation]

My DD arrived at 35 weeks, I had gone into spontaneous labour and my waters broke and contractions had started. On arrival at the hospital DD was a confirmed footling breech and we advised to go for an EMCS.

I am now in the early stages of being pregnant again. I find myself wondering if my ELCS will be booked earlier that 39 weeks (which seems to be the common date)? I will most definitely be have a c-section as I've had some bladder surgery since birth of DD and would want to but any strain on that area by giving birth naturally.

Has anyone had a similar experience and would be happy to share?

I haven’t had a c section but DC1 was early due to the placenta being rubbish.
I had extra monitoring with DC2 but she ended up being almost 2 weeks late much to my annoyance.

They told me each baby is different and because there was no problem with DC2 she stayed in to term. I would try not to worry too much but if you do go into labour naturally I’m sure you would still get the Caesarian!

Thank you for your reply!

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and have a csection booked for 39 weeks. My second daughter arrived at 38 weeks and I asked if could be booked in earlier for this birth (I have some big anxieties about labour due to previous trauma) but was told that they don't often preform elcs before 39 weeks due to the potential breathing difficulties for baby. If I go into labour early, I should still be able to have a csection, but I think it will be classed as an emergency (although still hopefully be relatively calm and planned!)

My first came induced at 37.5 weeks. My second arrived spontaneously at 36 weeks, my third induced at 34.5 weeks (emcs) and my fourth induced at 38.5 weeks (emcs).

So no, I had medical intervention with many of mine but I had a spontaneous healthy labour at 36 weeks with number 2 and then number 4 did not want to come out at 38.5 weeks (induction for medical reasons)

It's interesting to read everybody else's experiences. I'm just in a cluster at the moment wondering if my body can have a fill term pregnancy!
