Also a 2nd time mum with an elective c section next week! I finally got my date today and it’s the day before my due date, I went into labour at 39+5 with my first so slightly nervous in case I go into labour before my date! How are you feeling? Is your date close to your due date?

Have my section tomorrow as baby is breech he was due on the 4th so only 3 days early. Can't wait to meet him and to not feel sick doesn't really feel real though. How close is yours to your due date?

I've got one booked this time (vaginal with ventouse last time) for the 14th, I'll be bang on 39 weeks x

FTM and I’ve got mine on Saturday, 2 days before her due date! Feeling nervous 😭 but also excited to finally meet her x

Mine is planned for tomorrow at 38 weeks exactly, feeling very nervous as both my previous two have been emergency c sections but also excited and looking forward to baby being here 🥰

Morning C-section

Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔

TW: image attached - Elective section scar healing

Hi all, I had my c section 12 days ago now. This is my 2nd section, the first time around it healed fine. But this time it feels a lot more intense. I have been having stinging sensation and pulling. Today I checked it and notice this lump. Is this normal, should I be concerned I’m worrried that the scar looks as though it’s healing outwards like a keloid?

Low iron and elective c section?

Hi all
Has anyone been successful in getting an elective c section while also having low iron?
I’m only 11 weeks so have a long way to go yet but already have low iron (vegetarian and have always had low iron/ anaemia). I’m taking OTC supplements and have asked for a transfusion if it gets more severe (not approved yet, who knows). I can’t stomach the prescription iron.
But I’m worried I could be refused an elective c section because of this (due to the increased bleed risk). Has anyone managed and if so how? Did you just push for transfusions beforehand?

I need people to fill up my side of the wedding?

Hi, my name is Morgan. I am having a wedding in about a year. Due to religious reasons, my parents and family will not be attending. Thus my side will be empty. I am taking applications for people to be my cousins aunts uncles and somebody to walk me down the aisle. Yes I’m aware of how pathetic the sounds but hit me up if you want to participate.
