That Woman

Now she hopes my section is planned for 39 weeks or later, as statistically babies born by c/s earlier than that are 80% more likely to go into special care.

I answered

As gestation in my family is 37 weeks *as* term, and labour started then last time, it will be planned for term according to my medical history, not random statistics. I *have* thought about this, you know.


Was I very far out of line? She did mean to be helpful.
