Any way I can get a c-section before 39 weeks?

I know they don't like to do it before 39 weeks and honestly, I don't even want a c-section. I switched practices this time to a midwife so that I could try for a vbac. Well, early on in my pregnancy I developed gallstones and it's been the worst pregnancy ever. I had extreme nausea, vomiting, and food aversions until well into my second trimester which are normal pregnancy symptoms but also gallstone symptoms so it went undiagnosed for awhile. I have had 2 gallbladder attacks, the second on Saturday, and I just feel like garbage all the time. The larger the baby gets the more my chest, back and shoulder blades hurt from this. I have heartburn like crazy. I think I am going to nix the vbac idea as much as I want one the pain is too much, it hurts more than labor. I just want this kid out. I'm only 31 weeks but maybe they would do it after I am full term so that I can get my gallbladder out shortly after?

if I were you I would discuss with your doctor ~ I know my doctor would not do before 39 weeks unless there was a medical reason ~ maybe you fall into that category! I hope you feel better!!
