York Hospital C-Section

I am almost 37 weeks and baby is lying breech so I am being booked in for a c-section at around 39 weeks - does anyone know how long it usually takes for the date to come through?

Also if anyone could share their experience of a c-section at York hospital that would be great - it wasn’t my plan A so I am trying to get my head round it still!

Had an emergency section at York and the staff were amazing. It was a really traumatic birth but couldn’t fault York at all xx

Had an emergency c section after induction at York. Couldn't fault the hospital at all. Would just advise you to get some big seamless knickers, preferably a size bigger and disposable pants with pad in to help with recovery afterwards.

On the day you go in please check that your bed works properly. I had a bit of a nightmare as my bed was broken but we only realised straight after the C-section. And then I was told that I couldn't be move into another bed. So I was trying to cuddle and feed my baby laid flat. At one point with staff either side trying to pull me up abit and shove pillows behind me. I honestly think it affected my recovery as I didn't get up until the next morning. And I couldn't reach my baby after my husband left.

But individually all staff were nice.

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
