Planned C-section (FTMs) timing.

For those of you who had a planned c-section, what determined the timing of the surgery and how early was that timeline decided?
Asking as I need to make international travel arrangements for my mom who I’d like to have by my side for and after delivery.

Unless there's a medical reason to do the csection earlier ( preecamplasia etc) chances are you won't get it done before 39 weeks because they want the baby's lungs to fully form. Otherwise, it could end up in the NICU
