C section mamas question

I just had an appointment on Wednesday they scheduled me for my last appointment for the following Wednesday and my c-section will be on that Friday (04-12). I have already received instructions for showering for C-section,when to get there, where to go, when to stop eating, etc. My obgyn office is located in the hospital so if I need some paperwork it wouldn't be hard for them to get it. I'm wondering if it's necessary that I go to this last appointment on Wednesday?

I'm 38 weeks so c-section in 7 days. I know I won't have an ultrasound because that is scheduled separately

I would I’m pretty sure it’s just a check up to make sure everything is okay!!!! But if anything doesn’t feel right before then go to the hospital asap!! My son came a whole two weeks early lol he couldn’t wait any longer lol.

Do it. The worse that can happen is that used up a few minutes of your day

well it's a little more complicated than that my husband will have to take off work early so he can come home and watch our toddlers and he's already missed so many days and he'll be off that Friday and the weekend so he can be in the hospital with me and we are really tight on money as it is. So if it's not super necessary it would be much better for me not to go.

I'm going to call Monday to let them know my situation hopefully I won't have to go in

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
