C Section Date Accuracy

3 sections. My 2nd was delayed by hours due to emergancies being rushed in before me. My 3rd was delayed due to staff by a couple of hours (I was the only one booked that day due to me being complex) x

Hi! So my due date was 9/8, but c section was scheduled for 8/30. I had some complications earlier on in the pregnancy and she was in a breech position. I saw my ob on 8/14 and he wanted to schedule the c section the following day because I had low amniotic fluid plus the other concerns.

Mine was scheduled for the 25th of August and rang me on the 23rd asking if I could come in the next morning as they had some staffing issues on the Friday x

Mine was meant to be just after lunchtime but the poor girl before me had some pretty terrible complications that arose during the surgery so I didn’t get taken until about 5pm because they were with her that long. Nothing could have been done to avoid that happening.

@Lauren that was us on my first. I ended up with emergancy bowel surgery (complication of previous surgery 5 years before c section) and spent an additional 2 hours in theatre. X

@Kerrianne what a coincidence, it was emergency bowel surgery the poor girl needed!

@Lauren ohh wow. I hady ovary removed 5 years prior and had a huge blood clot (size of a rubix cube) left in my pelvis. It fused my bowel womb and bladder together. I had a spinal which wore out during survey too. It was awful. Still went on to have two more (smooth sailing) c sections x

No delays for me. My surgery was expected to start at 7:30 am, they asked us to be at the hospital at 5 am. Had my baby by 7:45!

My elective C/S got pushed back like 8 hours because there were a lot of emergency C/S that day.
