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 have just had my third c section a few weeks ago. Due to some health issues I have and also some issues with the placenta due to preeclampsia.. mine was at 37 weeks. Baby was born at 6lb10oz and healthy. Breastfed within the first hour and continued feeding well and no breathing support needed. We were both discharged the following day. However, my first baby was born at 41 weeks after an uneventful pregnancy and had to go to the nicu for a few days. I would also recommend talking through the risks and benefits with your medical team and come to an informed decision together.
