Elective c-section questions 🤯
Has anyone met with their midwife and a consultant to discuss an elective c-section?
I’m meeting both tomorrow and have no idea what to ask them 🤯
I was told when I first met my midwife that I would likely need one due to some medical issues that I have, and it being safer for both me and the baby.
I also had emergency key-hold surgery at 28 weeks and was told then by the surgeons and hospital midwives that I would need one 🫣
I’m 34 weeks now and just freaking out as I don’t know what to ask them tomorrow or when it will be 😬

I would look into creating a birth plan. It'll help you feel more in control and confident in the situation. You can look up samples or templates to help guide you. It can include anything from the music you want playing...the lights that are on when baby comes out...who's allowed in the room with you...delayed cord clamping...skin to skin right after delivery. Good luck!!

You can ask them about recovery and when you can do certain things after like driving and lifting, how long does it take, if you would like to play your own music you can ask if that’s possible, how long people are usually in for after. I hope that helps. They will likely talk you through the whole process though x
