Worthing hospital

Just wondering if anyone has had a c section recently, do you get one person in theatre and still get your second birthing person in recovery too?

I had a c section there in November 24 and that’s what the rules where then, the theatre room isn’t massive x

I had mine march 25 and it was deffo one person in theatre and I only saw one person in recovery but once you are in the ward there were more during visiting hours

Okay that’s perf, my husband is coming into theatre but as long as my sister can still be in the recovery bit! I had a really traumatic c section before and I just need my family there! Xx

If you are having an elective section, mine was absolutely wonderful after I had a long induction and emergency section for my first baby. The team are lovely and they explain everything. The most calm experience ❤️

I might have to have one because of a few complications, I really want a VBAC but of course I’ll go for what’s safest for me and baby girl, that’s what happened to me I had a 3 day induction and nothing happened! But I had so many problems after the c section so I am hoping they say I can still VBAC. Also recovery with a toddler sounds horrific haha, thank you for commenting that’s really helpful to know xx

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.

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.

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.

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!
