C section requested over induction last minute!

I was in triage today again after a midwife appointment due to high blood
pressures. It all turned out to be okay. It’s still not high enough for them to give me medication but they find higher trace of protein in my urine and they want me to go back for monitoring tomorrow. I will most likely go back everyday until my c section as I don’t want to be inducted. They have requested a c section for me for Friday but they are very busy, so it might not happen, unless my blood pressure plays up again and it will be an emergency.

I just want to find out from c section mamas how did it go for you, especially if it was a last minute request. Did they call you the day before, do I need to go in, I will ask more when I’m in the day center.

Baby girl is here 💖

My little girl arrived on Saturday 4th April via a planned c section and I’m so in love 🥹

Health

Going incognito mostly because I am actually embarrassed 😂
I need to start being more active, I used to be so on the go but now I have zero motivation and no energy.
I have type 2 diabetes and I am trying to reverse it before it gets worse, my diet and exercise is horrendous as I just go for quick and easy, I do need to start really prepping food, I have tried calorie counting but end up getting stressed and just giving up and exercise wise I need someone to give me a push and hold me accountable in doing it but my partner is not the best with helping with things like this as he eats like a child and is physically active in work so when he gets home he doesn’t want to work out.
I need help, I was recently told my cholesterol and stuff are high and my diabetes has gone worse since having the baby and having a lot of meds stopped.

What are you looking forward to?

Ladies, what are you looking forward to doing when you don’t have a bump anymore?

Mine is being able to sleep on my stomach! I’ve never been a side sleeper so I can’t say I’ve had a good nights sleep since my second trimester🫠

Advice!

I was sent for a growth scan as my bump was under the 50th centile…been told she’s on the 23rd now after scan. She’s also “frank breech” has anyone else had a wee one on the smaller side and they have moved? I’ve to get 2 more growth scans and hopefully she’s moved or it will be a section! Another thing I’m dreading 🫣 my first was a svd and I was hoping for the same but I’m so nervous now incase of a c section

When is ‘too’ early?

29 weeks on Friday and I’m waiting for a scan at 32 weeks on the 30th of April to see if my low lying placenta has moved, if not it’s looking likely I’ll need a C section. But in most cases, placenta will move! However, I’ve just put my first load of baby washing on🫣I couldn’t resist! Is it too early?

C-section regrets…

Has anyone booked in for their C-section but is now feeling like they wanna scrap it & let things happen naturally?

I was on the fence for months and made the decision but now I’m so nervous & wondering if I’m about to make a big mistake as I could end up having a great normal birth and quick recovery but
I’ll never know if I have a section ! 🙈

I feel like the more a read or hear about sections it’s making me less confident when it’s meant to make you more!? If you feel similar let me know. What are your thoughts??
