GISI - You may have to make your choice at 36 week appointment. If you choose the elective they will then give you a date for section at 38 - 39 weeks. They won't let you go to 40 weeks. But that said if you went into spontaneous labour before the given elective date, (as i did) they will again give you the option to go for an urgent section or VBAC. I suppose if when the elective date came round you could then change your mind again and say you want to wait and try a VBAC, because no one can make you have the section.

Thanks- I hadn't thought of that. I'd be happy to be booked in at 38 weeks but would probably try for a vBac if I went naturally.

does anyone know why 'they' do elective c/s 'early'?
I would think (as a random not medically trained person) that it was best to do it as close to due date as poss?

As csh and MFD have said, I would imagine it is to avoid as many as possible planned c-sections becoming emergency c-sections because labour had started. Do planned sections require less personnel than EMCS? Just wondered as it felt like there loads of people at H's birth, considering neither of us were in immediate danger.

Mad to think that I could be a pregnant a month less with #2 than I was with H!

Would they actually be "emergency" or just urgent? If going into labour is expected to create an emergency then they do them at 37 weeks to avoid that. (Or at least they did with my cousin's wife who had placenta previa and I would assume it is standard practice.)
