RDH Elective csection date

When did everyone get there csection date?

I am 38+2 weeks and still haven't got a date. Mentioned from the start I wanted a csection... consultant told me I get a date 36-37 weeks, yet Midwife said nope 38 weeks (I have gestational diabetes if that makes a difference, as I know it did with my first). I know someone at Burton hospital who got theres at 27 weeks (no complications) I am just stressing about organising child care for my first child and I am still working so have no idea when my last day will be.

Did you have a 36 week appointment? You should have had a date already. I suggest calling to flag it, otherwise you become an “oversight”. Also stress you need to arrange childcare and this is causing you additional stress and anxiety, not having a date yet to work with. Be firm and request to speak to someone senior if you feel your been fobbed off.
My consultant told me from a provisional date to work with from when I was 24 weeks and when it had to be brought forward I still had 2 weeks notice.

I was given mine exactly a week before, also had to go so far for my pre op bloods because they gave me so little notice and I couldn’t get an appointment anywhere!🫠🫨

You should hear about your ELCS this Friday as it can be up til the Friday before your 39th week

It can depend on a lot of factors, no case is the same. I would absolutely encourage you to call on Friday, maybe after lunch, if you haven't heard anything, make sure you haven't been missed

I called and I had been missed 😔... so they will give me a date tomorrow hopefully 🤞

Oh no! So sorry you have been missed. They have to give you a date tomorrow, surely

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
