Labour before elective section?

You let them know and they’ll get you in , ask if you want to continue labouring of go ahead with section

I was booked for a c-section on the 4th and went into labour on the 3rd you just let them know you still want a c-section and they’ll do it it’s just then classed as an emergency section x

Just classed as an ‘emergency’ I was told at my hotspots that you just ring them if you go into labour x

My water broke the morning of my elective section (literally an hour before we left for the hospital). I started getting contractions right away. When I got to the hospital I let them know straight away and they gave me the option to go for a natural birth. I ended up continuing with my elective section and the hospital was alright with my choice

Also, from those saying it’s emerg it can still be a calm and relaxed experience. I was emerg with my first and still had music and relaxed atmosphere with a lion king moment. So just be prepared for your section a lil earlier just in case xx

My first labour was also six hours but ended in an emergency csection so I chose an elective the second time round. I was booked in for 38+4 but went into labour at 38+1. I messaged my doctor when I felt the contractions. They just took me in for a csection as planned and classed it as an emergency, even though it was all pretty chill.

My first I went into labor at 38w+6d and I had to do an emergency C-section. I got pregnant with my second around four months postpartum I went into labor at 38w+4d and we did we still did the C-section. I had a scheduled C-section they just went ahead and did the C-section because I was laboring.

Please please advocate for yourself. My waters broke the day before my elective and I was sent home because 'I wouldn't progress so quickly as it was my first' needless to say, I did progress quickly and went back to the hospital once contractions were close together, but they just put me in a room and told me I'd be fine to wait until my elective time (in about 6hrs time). I wasn't and I didn't have a c section. I wish I'd have kicked up a fuss, but at the time I just trusted what they were saying.

With my middle daughter I went into Labor the day before my scheduled c section and after 7 and a half hours with no pain meds not even ice chips they finally did the c section

I was asked if I wanted to try naturally or have my section

This happened to me a few weeks ago. My section was scheduled for the Friday and I went into labour the Sunday before.
I got to the hospital at 1.10pm and she was born at 2.56pm so it all happened pretty quickly. They did ask several times if I wanted to still go ahead but I said yes and didn’t feel under any pressure not to have the section.
