Having an elective c-section

36 weeks Carang? Geez that's early! Was there a problem with bub? I had a c-section with my first at 40w2d. I had an induction but after 2 days I still failed to dilate. I'm hoping to have an elective this time round but I would only be happy if it was at 39 or 40 weeks. How does that work in the public system?

take your pick, i had:
1) EXTREMELY high blood pressure
2) thyroid problems
3) was in a wheelchair/couldn't walk at all due to excruciating hip pain
just to name a few that i can think of off the top of my head.
public hospitals are usually very conservative. in my case, my problems were such that they deemed the risk to the baby was minor compared to the risk to me if i carried her any longer....
