My oldest child was C-section due to a medical emergency. For the second child the ob told me (in October) to go to the hospital and schedule the C-section one-two weeks before the Jan 5 due date. The scheduling nurse at the hospital said all dates in the last two weeks of December had been booked for months due to people wanting to get the income tax deduction for the child in the earlier year regardless of whether a C-section was required or when in Jan their baby was actually due.
