Elective C Section Date

Hi all - I have my elective c section date but have been told by the midwife that it’s not guaranteed and they are subject to change and to keep checking my BadgerNotes nearer the time. (I did know this but they’ve put a bit of doubt in my mind now)

For anyone who had their c section date at the QA beforehand, did yours change? I’m panicking a bit now as suffer with anxiety and the unknown is worrying me 😩

Hi lovely
I've had an appointment today with the diabetic team, and I am opting for an elective c section this time.
I asked about the process and she advised that yes there is a small chance that it is subject to change, but only due to more emergent cases coming in and even then, it is likely to be the following day.
Elective c sections they have capacity for 5 births a day at QA and that's all they book in.

Try not to worry too much if you can x

Mine didn't change but nearly did due to the Dr strikes 😅

I had to have an emergency c section with my son and that was just 18 months ago, so this is something that was recommended and something I’ve chosen to go with. You are able to request a c section if it’s something you want

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
