Last year, Sutter made it a standard policy at all hospitals not to allow elective deliveries before 39 weeks. Here's a good story on the issue is the San Jose Mercury News: http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_19849145 Gary Zavoral 2012-03-01T23:51:04Z Gary Zavoral comment-64409 2012-03-01T21:34:19Z 2012-03-01T21:34:19Z This was the mother's second birth. She had a C-section 13 years ago, and after you have one C-section, your subsequent births usually are C-sections, also. Gary Zavoral 2012-03-01T21:34:19Z
