Elective caesarean

My dr Is recommending week 37 for caesarean. Is week 37 too early? For mommies opting caesarean, at which week your dr. recommend?

It is considered the earliest of full term. I assume there's a reason for the doctor to choose that. My first was a breech baby, and we discussed having it at week 39, but the baby decided to go out at week 38. As in, I started to have natural contractions at week 38.

37 weeks consider full term. I had elective c- sect. Doctor recommended 38weeks 1days onward. But I pick exactly 38weeks. Which is 1 day earlier than date that my gynae gave.

my doctor ask me to choose date between 38weeks-39weeks . but i chose to have csect at 37weeks 6 days

Nope it’s considered full term! Mine was recommended at 38weeks!

Mine was at 37+5! :) all the best!! ❤
