Just needing abit of advice if anyone can help

I had a consultant appointment the other day and my due date is 24th January. I was told everything is going perfect with baby and me and I have a choice of natural labour, csection or induction so I chose natural labour.
I was asked if I don't go into labour by my due date what will my option be and I told the consultant that I would like a C-section. She said ok and booked me in for 31st Jan.
I felt a little annoyed that she had booked me in already and booked my pre ops and bloods and everything. I didn't say anything at the time though cause that's just what I'm like.
If I change my mind is it ok to cancel the csection and continue waiting for baby to come when he's ready as long as everything is healthy with him?

100%, it’s your choice at the end of the day not what makes their diaries easier, it’s not unusual to go 2 weeks overdue

I think your consultant is just wanting to make sure you have an appointment so it doesn’t get too close and there’s no dates available. You should be able to cancel anytime.

I literally gave birth via VBAC the day of my scheduled c-section. I gave birth at 1:51am and I was due in the hospital at 8am on the same day to wait. I had been to the pre op appointment and everything 🤣

Having the VBAC was the best decision I ever made. They did give me the choice to have the c-section but as I was in active labour it would have been another emergency c-section, which I wanted to avoid.

You can definitely change your mind and wait and I’d imagine they booked you in for incase, appointments get booked and otherwise you wouldn’t get one xx

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
