Planned Section

Hey my planned section was booked for the 21st June at QEUH they phoned me on the 19th at 4 pm asking me to come in at 10am the next day (20th) so a day earlier than planned . I agreed to it because they said their very busy, and if I stuck to the original date, I may need to go to a different hospital or even wait for a later date . Op went absolutely fine, only annoying part was I was last on the list so had to wait all day ( he was born at 15:49)

Aw thank you! The consultant had said this yesterday but would happily go a week earlier haha. Where you kept in for a long time after? X

Haha I felt like that too . I thought they were phoning to say they needed to change to a leter date and was so happy it was a day early 😅 . I was supposed to get our 24 hours later, had bags all packed up in the car ready to go , but during baby check, they found a slight heart murmur, so had to keep us in another night so another consultant could have a look at him the next day . But if no issues you get out 24 hours later x

I’m at that’s stage and she’s measuring big haha! I was wondering if I could request an earlier date tbh. Aw brilliant, with my first I was in 4 days after and 5 days before so fingers crossed. Thank you x

Hey☺️ mine was meant to be 11th June & they brought it forward a day to 10th. The midwives & all the staff are absolutely brilliant. It was my first baby & I was so emotional & in tears before it with anxiety but they were amazing & I would chose a planned section again ❤️ hope all goes well mumma 😁xx

Aw amazing to hear!! I’m extremely anxious, I had an emergency c section with my first and keep comparing but thank you xx

How far in advance did you get your date?

I was emergency with my first too . Completely different i got my date maybe a week and a half / 2 weeks before . Much more relaxed and laid back with the planned one. Take you through everything there doing step by step in theatre and always asked how I was feeling. The epidural made me feel like I had heavy chest and then my BP dropped and I felt like I was going to pass out . They fixed it straight away with some meds through the drip and I felt absolutely fine after that . The only thing I struggled with was shoulder pain it started durning surgery and I had it until I went home . Its to do with trapped wind but the pain is in your shoulder . It was the worst pain out of it all . Hope all goes well . X
