Need Advice!

Ok guys i am 35 weeks today. I am having a hard time deciding wether i want to have a c-section or wait and go in labor. Heres my story. Im due on Christmas Eve with 2 other children ages 6 and 4 at home. They are afraid mommy wont be home for Christmas. That breaks my heart. Due to some complications i can chose to have a csecection on dec 17th. I will also be getting my tubes tied afterwards. I already have a c section scar. My question is would you have a c section and know that ill be home for christmas and just have 1 scar or try to wait and possibly be in the hospital on christmas and have to get 3 new scars for my tubal. Just looking for advice

Id do the c section. Its only a week early. And like the other girl said hou migjt have to.end up with the c section anyways. Plus it'll be less scars and you cant get it all done and.over with being home with the other kids on xmas is a huge plus also!!

If you decide to wait to go into labor naturally you may still need the c-section. So,  my thought is whyjnot be prepared for it.  I know alot of people will say don't have a c-section because babies need all the time they can get inside, but your doctor's knowwwhat will be best for you and your situation. Do what you think is best for your family.

It might make more sense to have the c-section simply because then they don't have to do two separate operations and they can do your tubal then and there.

You should get the c section to be at home with your other babies.

You should have the csection so that you could be home with your other two babies while they open their Christmas gifts
From a first time mom that's due in the summer
