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?

The dr. doing my c-section is not my normal o.b. My normal o.b. doesn't do c-sections, and I was referred to this dr. because I have to have a c-section, I tore 3rd degree with my son, and they don't want that to happen again.. and I also see him for other reasons.. I told my o.b. that my last period was nov. 5th or 6th, but thinking about it, it was either the 3rd or 4th.. so we had 2 different days.. and I told the dr. that's doing my c-sec. that I was wrong about my period and that it was the 3rd or 4th of Nov. but he said i'm due the 14th... which seems late to me.. and then I don't go in untill the 27th of this month to scedule the c-sec. which doesn't give me much time to know the exact date i'm having my baby.. and to take maternity leave.. is what brought up this whole 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

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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!

Who knows! Just ask them when they are going to do the c section.
