C-section RAH

Hey, so I’m 37 weeks this week and my baby is breech (head up bum down) have a scan tomorrow to confirm the position then I think it’ll be the discussion of having a planned section - has anyone done this through the RAH in paisley - is it more likely to be planned for 39 weeks? And is it specific days they do the planned sections?

Thank you!

We had a planned section at RAH 8 week today at 38 weeks 3days - ur in good hands
Wasn’t cos of been breech but was told do plan ones on Tuesday & Thursday xx

Baby was breach and had him at RAH just over a year ago now. I had a few other complications ( concern about low PAP a etc) so we were scheduled for 37 weeks. Doctor basically phoned for next available slot. I know this isn’t helpful but to give you some confidence. We had a really good experience with planned section, lots of my friends were in Labour or were induced before having to have a section anyway. You will head up early in the morning and then you will be in small ward with I think 6 women. Then unless they have emergency sections. They will work their way through everyone - it was so quick and the team at RAH were great x

I didnt have a breech baby but i had a planned at 39 weeks and 3 days it was on a monday staff were fab x

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

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.

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!
