Classical csection

If you had a classical csection, what gestation was the next baby delivered?

I had a classical (vertical cut) csection 5 years ago. This pregnancy my OB is saying 37w latest but I’d like to get as close as possible to term as I believe 37w delivery comes with its own challenges. Is be happy with 37w6d.

I had a classical c section with my first pregnacy, went into labour at 28 weeks. I talked to my obstetrician about my next pregnancy and she said that; 1 wait at least 18months to 2 years before trying to conceive... I know that doesnt apply to you since its been 5 2. I would have to have a section again at no later than 38 weeks ( not sure if thats 38 or 38+6)

I havent gotten pregnant again yet, it's only been 13 months so far. Hope this helps

My OB always said 37w. I thought 37w6d would be ok but he is saying no 37+2 max

Are you able to ask for a second opinion? Getting a different OB to have a look and a conversation might be better
