Got my date for next week. I feel like I need to get stuff done before baby arrives but don't know what to do with the time 🤣🤣🤣

I’m 37+5 today, having my section at 39 weeks due to health issues

Oh okay. Yeah I only asked because I have spoken to my consultant about being induced at 37 but the more i think about it i wanted to opt for a c section but do they only offer that at 39 weeks?

Avatar

they tend to only do them before 39 weeks if there’s a particularly health reason. My health issue doesn’t affect baby, it’s more to do with needing to schedule coming off medication so that’s why mine is at that gestation

All I’d say is get on top of your washing before cause that’s last thing you’ll care about when you’re trying to get around with a new born and in pain! (On count down to my 2nd section)

@Jess my mum said this to me to keep on top of it. Eeekk I know me too second one I'm so nervous x

PGP is awful, I’ve managed to avoid crutches but only because I got signed off work in December due to everything going on with my health. Was your consultant receptive to being induced early? Might be worth mentioning c-section and seeing what they say

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.

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!

40+2 still no baby

I got a membrane sweep when I hit 40 weeks (hurt like hell btw) and what I THOUGHT was my mucus plug a few weeks ago clearly wasn’t it cause now I believe I just lost it and grossed myself out thinking my water broke lol induction set for the day I hit 41 weeks tho I’m terrified 😩
