If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

I'll be 30 w in a few days and still no date, the dr keeps telling me we'll know "next week" but every week I go they don't have a date, surgery scheduling person told me they don't have the Sept schedule yet On fri my OB sad I'll know next week -meaning the 12th - but that I can call the office to see if I can get more info , but turns out the person who schedules them is on vacation until the 16th ,so I won't know anything I'm sure...
I know with DD I knew by 25 weeks so not sure what's going on,I would like to know already .

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

I don't have my date yet (I'm 26 weeks tomorrow) but my doc told me that we'd schedule it around 32 weeks (the hospital need about 8 weeks notice, he said).

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

Last time I officially knew I would have a c-section when I turned 34 weeks. They kept telling me I'd schedule it at my 38 week appt for the following week. So that was only one week in advance. But at my 38 week appt I was sent straight to the hospital to deliver, so I never scheduled it.

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

OB told me I'd get my date at/about 30 wks. At my last appt nurse practitioner told me she is asking staff to call on/about July 16th to schedule it. They can call as early as 3 mos before. I am currently 25wks 5days

My dr only does scheduled c/s on Tuesdays b/c he is on call and knows he will def be in the hospital.

My due date is on Wednesday so the "only" date I can be scheduled for is the day before my due date- as the Tuesday prior is before 39 wks and the hospital will not book a c/s prior to 39 wks, not even by 1 day.

DS was a scheduled c/s and I was given my date at my 39wk appt- that was when they determined I would be a scheduled c\s

If my baby is still breech around 35 weeks, they said they want to schedule the c-section at that time. I am going to try external version first most likely, but i think around 35-36 weeks we will have a scheduled c-section that can be cancelled if the baby is cooperative and turns!!

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

I got my official date around 32 weeks.

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

I picked the date i would like at my 30 weeks appt. They told me they would give me the official date at my 32 weeks appt.

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

I am 37 weeks and will find out monday based on how my body is reacting or not reacting. So i will be booked 1 week in advance. My doc does them during the 39th week, unless i go on my own.

Re: If you are having a scheduled CS when did you know the date?

With my second I was due in February I knew my c section date in December.
