C section phone call

I would call up and ask. I was given my date at my 36 week appointment.

I received my phone call with a date this morning but I’ll be 41 weeks on the day they’ve booked, however, I had been left without that discussion and should have really been clearer with them earlier on. I was on a cancellation list and wasn’t considered priority despite there being a medical need for me to have it. I wonder if you could call your local hospital to ask when they expect you’ll be contacted and to give you some reassurance? If you’re on a cancellation list though they told me they couldn’t give me an estimated date due to being busy which was so frustrating x

I would call them up and ask for an explanation as to why you’re not considered a priority.

I know for me I only booked a c-section because I had a previous c-section and didn’t want another emergency c-section. This has turned into a VBAC instead as I went into labour and gave birth hours before I was due in to have my c-section.

I am 39 weeks next week and still waiting for my phone call as to what day it will be x

I’ve not know this , I’ve only know and my experience also is that you get booked in earlier than this.
I got booked in at 36 weeks last time and 32 this.
Can you call and ask? Xx

I just called them and they said to expect a call Friday between 3pm-5pm 🙈xx

I really hope that is not going to be my story 😕 my baby is in en extended breech position, I've got an ecv booked for tomorrow, but if they don't manage to turn him, it would be a c section, and I really don't want to worry about going into labour while they faf around saying they will call me at some point. Especially since I had to chase them twice about the ecv in the first place, and then I got covid a day before I was meant to have it so they moved it back another week. 😐

I’ve had nothing but trouble with my local hospital. They’ve given me Mondays date for my c-section and said they are too busy to get me in beforehand. The reason for the c-section is due to my baby being small and having restricted growth (I chose to have an elective over an induction). There is technically ‘no risk’ if I was to go into labour naturally even though my only option for intervention would be an emergency section if it came to it. They have been very unsupportive of my decision not to have an induction x

I’m 38 weeks + 4 days and still don’t have a date. I’m being told there’s no spaces. They wanted to do it at 38 weeks but looking unlikely.
