C section tomrorow

Hi moms! Has anyone had an elective c section.. I have an ecv due tomorrow as baby is still breech. idk what to expect. But I think to mentally prep myself for a c section if it does go this way. Tbh Idk why I’m even trying for vaginal when I have such a fear of anyone going near down there 😂
Any tips advice or support would be appreciated.

I've had a vaginal delivery and an elective csection. For me, the elective section was much calmer and I came out of it with a better mental health.

But my first vaginal birth was very traumatic, so that's just my experience. My second was laid across so I had an elective section, but would have requested one anyway.

I had an ECV which was uncomfortable but absolutely fine. I used gas and air.
Baby didn’t move so opted for a c section and pushed back to 40+5 to allow as much time to turn. I tried everything but it wasn’t meant to be. C section was the last thing I wanted but it was so positive and calm.

I had an elective c section and I’d never even consider any other way, it was everything I wanted my birth to be and my recovery wasn’t bad at all 🤍 I will say do your research, consider all options and do what feels best for you regardless of others opinions ☺️

I had a elective it was nice they let me chose the music that played while in surgery

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
