[quote=Anonymous]Just saw you were going for a scheduled c-section in which case that’s even easier. Schedule your C as early as your provider will let you - most practices let you schedule at 39 weeks and some will let you schedule in the 38th week if there are other concerns like AMA or high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, etc. That way you have much less of a chance of going into labor before your c-section date. You can hire a nanny, babysitter, etc. to stay with your younger child, which is especially easy if you know the approximate date you’ll be giving birth. Or - hire a doula to accompany you to the hospital and stay with you, and your husband stays at home with the other kid. Or even find a home day care now for your older child and ask the provider if she can watch your older kid overnight one night while you’re at the hospital, making it clear that you’ll make it worth her while, money-wise. If you are having a scheduled c-section on a certain date, you have many more options than if you go into labor on your own. [/quote]
