Yes, yes it does.

I was born on Carnival day - it used to be the first Saturday in July, which in 1972 happened to be July 1st. Mum was told a couple of times that she was lucky - she went into hospital in the early hours and I was born at 07.30. Had I been a couple of hours later making an appearance they'd have had trouble getting through the traffic. Mum just thought she was lucky because I was about a week overdue and she was tired of lugging me around.

So, no. Had I been scheduled I certainly would not have had to work hard for a living!

Are people really still doing this?
Boggles the mind that insurance companies even let them.

Z-let #1 was weeks late and was induced. Of course that was 18 years ago.

I read recently about the increase in elective caesarians in this country. But it was a negative article about women who could afford private healthcare being "too posh to push" so I can't say if there was any truth in it.

scheduled c-sections are much cheaper than emergency ones

What does that have to do with elective inductions based on schedules or weekends?
