contractions before scheduled c section

I am 35weeks now n had extremely strong but not rhythmic contractions for 5hours this morning. I am scheduled for a 39week C-section but my first came early n an emergency so im super nervous about this one and so forth.

I am scheduled for a c section June 9th. What if i go into labor before then? Will they stop my contractions or will they just do my c section before the date?

That is my fear! My c section is scheduled for the 31st but I am afraid to go into labor or have my water break before then :-( I hope we get some stories maybe ease my mind a bit on how it will work that way .

Well my scheduled c section is in a week. And I'm trying to get prepared, any advice of how to prepare or what to do. Please let me know :) Thanks very much !

My SIL did with her last pregnany and everything turned out fine. She was extreemly high risk also. Why are you having a csection? I think if they are willing to wait that long then it won't be dangerous for you to start labor as long as you get to the hospital asap.

best thing ever felt no pain lol no contractions no nothing!

I'm having a scheduled c-section to..I'm 32weeks..

I had a c section too but it wasn't scheduled so I don't really know, but I wouldn't think it'd be that different. You would just go in knowing this time I guess.

I have not had a c-section, but I can answer a bit of your questions..... a spiral block does NOT put you to sleep....it will knock out sensation and if you're exhausted then you may fall asleep if you've been having contractions, but since you're scheduled to get a c before labor starts most likely you'll be wide awake through the whole thing.

/ so my question is.....im having a scheduled c section on the 7th of april and im just curious how contractions work? Do i have to be having them? Will they induce me to have contractions then take him out via c section? Or do i go in 2 hrs early and they just break my water and wait for contractions? My first c sec was an emergency so it was aloy different.

needless to say i went into labor a couple weeks before scheduled c section. i live about an hour away from the hospital my doc delivers from....and i called him in the middle of the night feeling preasure and felt like i had to go to the bathroom...he said i was constipated and probably needed an enema...lol...i felt contractions but they were minutes apart...well i got in the car with dh to go the hospital and with in 5 minutes i was having full blown contractions...

They told me that the doc and the hospital will not get paid for a c-section/induction before 39 weeks unless there is a medical reason to make it necessary. Something to do with rules imposed by the March of Dimes.

I had a c section 7 years ago and I feel like things have changed. Has anyone had one recently? I heard they call you now when they have a bed free. How does that work? My husband and I live an hour away from hospital. Does things change having a c section at 35/36 weeks.

I'm 35 weeks and 5 days and yesterday my doctor and I decided I'm going to need a c section because my baby is getting way too big and we're worried about her shoulders getting stuck. At the very end of my appointment he said that these kinds of c sections normally aren't scheduled before 39 weeks, then he just walked out before I could ask any questions about it.

I think if you did go into labor before your scheduled c section than they would most likely do am emergency c section.. but I could be wrong tho.

So i have to schedule a c-section 3wks before my due date .. So good luck to all you ladies who also need to schedule a c-section, I would rather plan than take a chance.

That happened to my friend her water broke a week before her c section date. She got to the hospital they checked her then got her ready and gave her a c section.

I just found out that my c section is scheduled 3 days before my due date.

My doctor didn't tell me anything. I'm so clueless on what to do. I don't want to be getting ice chips all day.

I didnt have a c-section, but they numbed my back before they put the epidural needle in..

Im 36 wks and i can feel a sore throat coming on and i do have a slight head cold and have had period pain cramps on and off ( which at the moment are bearable) and fake contractions the last few days. Im scheduled for c-section at 39 wks due to high risk pregnancy but everyone is saying theres not a chance ill make it to 39 wks. Im ready to pop. I wonder where u heard this and if theres any truth in it? It could be just that we are getting sick and thats that.

No need to worry about contractions at all unless your water breaks or you are in labor before you scheduled c-section date. If that happens most likely they will just do the c-section right away but it won't be an emergency.

Did any of you go into labor prior to your c section? I have not been scheduled yet but I have an appointment with a doctor on Friday so they can make sure my daughter is OK since she is still breech. I just have this weird feeling that labor is coming soon. Did that happen to anyone else?

If you have a scheduled csection, and you have contractions before that date, do u technically have to have regular ones.. like ive heard you shouldnt really go in until theyre like 5min apart.

Waterborne on its own with first with zero contractions, 2nd I had her as scheduled, and your I went into labor and it was painful! Love c sections and glad I am cleared to have a fourth :) these weren't elective I had gestational with all so they were very large despite my healthy physique.

I asked my doctor about that an he said that no matter what I will be having a c section whether I go before my scheduled date or on it. I was hoping to have vaginal but they won't do it.

I'm scheduled for the 13th as well.. C-section #3 then tubes are getting tied too.. i have 2 boys and this one is my little girl.
