C-Sec./Due Date Question?

I'm due Aug. 14th, was due the 10th but the dr. doing the c-sec. moved it back.. but anyway.. He said they do the c-section 10 days before my due date.. and they don't do c-sections on the weekends, so do they include weekends in the 10 day period or not?

C-Sec./Due Date Question?
yes they do, when he says "ten days back" it means ten of YOUR days back, not of HIS working days.


yeah.... he DOESN'Tmean ten working days
Reply:I would say yes, I would expect they would do it August 4th, but if it landed on a Sat or Sun they would do it the following Monday. Good Luck! I loved my C-section!
Reply:you need to ask him this. and they do do c-sections on the weekend just not scheduled ones usually
Reply:Yes, they include weekends. I had this same problem. My doc wanted to do it exactly a week before the due date, but that was on a weekend. And since they like to leave early on Fridays, they scheduled it for the Thursday before that date. So my daughter was born (ironically, on August 10) a few days earlier than they usually would have done it.
Reply:I'm not sure on that one. if they dont do c-sections on weekends i would say if day ten fell on a saturday then do it friday or if day ten fell on a sunday do it monday. but im not sure you should talk to your dr and ask them when they will do the c-section. it never hurts to ask questions when you dont really know what to do. good luck.
Reply:Who knows! Just ask them when they are going to do the c section.
Reply:Don't know, that would have to be a question for your doctor. In my experience, each practice varies in when they do c-sections. My last doctor scheduled at 38 weeks. This group wants to schedule at 39 weeks.
Reply:I'm sorry you are in the position you are now in ... you'd have to ask the doctor about his 'ten days before' you are due 'limit' ... most doctors would want to wait until 10 days after unless there is a 'good medical reason' to do the c-section 'early' ... also WHY did the doctor 'move' your due date? Did it have something to do with the 'size' of your baby inside you, or some other reason? I'm SERIOUSLY WORRIED and think that you really should see 'another doctor' at a UNIVERSITY hospital, because there are all kinds of 'things' that are not 'right' about your question ... and go ASAP if you decide I'm right ... because if you want to you CAN SWITCH DOCTORS now, and in your case, I think it would be an EXTREMELY GOOD IDEA to at least 'think about doing it.'
