Wondering how EDD differs of DOB

If you don’t mind, can share your 1. EDD 2. Actual DOB of child 3. First/ second or number what child was that? Wondering if I should expect earlier or later, considering elective c sec, your thoughts? If baby can stay in longer better- once water breaks, can is it still considered elective/ planned c sec?

EDD: 4 Jan DOB: 28 Dec First born (son) Mine was a big baby at 3.93kg. Gynae recommended c-sec for me. I chose 1 Jan as my c-sec date but my water bag broke on 28 dec 3AM so i had to deliver immediately as there won’t be enough oxygen for baby. It’s still considered elective c-sec even if your actual dob is before the selected c-sec date. And like the others here, yeah my c-sec recovery was smooth and painless. Will opt for c-sec for my 2nd baby too.
