Hi mummy! What's the reason of you deciding to go for a c-sect at 36 weeks? All I know is gynae won't indice you unless there is complications with your pregnancy. 36 weeks is still early or you can wait till 37 weeks? I had to be induced at 35w6d due to PPROM and my baby required nicu & scn to administer antibiotics for 5 days before his PD gave me the A-okay to go home together.

If there no health complication, do not go for wk36 . I deliver at wk36 due to pre eclampsia. My girl is jn high dependency ward for 3 days and once reach the weight of 2kg can go home.
