Labor before c section date

So I'm having a scheduled c section, most likely at 39 weeks. I'm kinda nervous to go into labor before the scheduled date. Last time I had my c section almost 3 weeks early due to low placenta, so I never worried about going into labor before.

Has anyone gone into labor before their scheduled section date?

I'm worried about this too since they told me it would be dangerous to have a natural childbirth. I'm scheduled for 12 days before my due date, but I was 19 days early.

I asked my OB and he said if I went into labor I'd come in and they'd do a c-section immediately. It would just become an emergency c-section instead of a nice, calm scheduled one. Still scares me though. DD please stay in until 3/24.

Yes- twice-for #2 and #3.

I had to labor a few hours before the sections were done. Just made it all more tiring.

For #3, contractions started at 1am and my section was scheduled for 8am. Little bugger didn't let us get a last night of sleep!

I had a c-sect scheduled for Monday and whee into labor the day before. Had a c-section as planned and all was fine.

I did. I had a planned c-section scheduled for 39w1d because DS was breech, but I went into labor at 38w4d. I actually drove myself into Manhattan (DH was a work), went to my OB to get checked out and was then sent to the hospital. I was 4cm when I got there and had my c-section a few hours later.

I'm pregnant again and will probably opt for the planned c-section again this time, too.

Is there something specific you're worried about?

Yup every csection! Don't know what a scheduled one is like (Patients point of view). I doubt I will make it to my scheduled one this time since I have a history of preterm deliveries.

This happened to me. With my son I was supposed to have a scheduled cs on a Friday but my water broke and I went into labor. I partially delivered his foot and tush and then had a cs. If this happens to you go poop before having a cs. No matter if it is a scheduled on or not. Make sure to poop before they open you up. With my dd I had a scheduled cs. It was much easier for a variety of reasons. The thing you must do is get up and walk around as soon as you can. It will help with your recovery.

Yes, I was scheduled for Black Friday at 8 am. The night before Thanksgiving, I started to have contractions. When I got to the hospital at 9:30 I was 2cm. They got me comfy and I had a c-section 2 hours later. I was so worried about going into labor, but it all worked out!

My first C-section was supposed to be an "emergency" too. I was already in the hospital and I woke up 5cm dilated! They said, "ok let's go, C-section at 8am". I got bumped twice and gave birth to the twins via C-section at 1pm.
