C-section booked for my birthday!
I had an appointment this afternoon to book in my c-section, and the only date available is my birthday! They’re fully booked several days before and after.
On one hand, it could be a nice distraction as I’m really nervous about the surgery, I’d have something to talk/laugh about with the theatre staff. Tea and toast post birth could be tea and birthday cake! But I feel a great deal of sadness that my child won’t have a special day of their own.
This sort of thing can’t be helped with spontaneous labour, but it’s a shame it’s likely to be the outcome of my planned c-section! 😕

My baby is due 2 days before my birthday I felt the same as you that it wouldn’t be his own special day, so if he does decide to make an appearance on my birthday I’ve decided to push my birthday a day late so he can still have his own day. :) x
My section is booked for 20th and it's my niece's and friends birthday that day lol just can't be helped 😂

Maternity pads/knickers
Can anyone please help me advise what to buy for my hospital bag when it comes to maternity pads/knickers? I am very stuck! Not sure obviously whether this will end in vaginal birth or c section, but any recommendations would be very handy!

First scan :)
I had my first scan and baby is looking very healthy so far! (Measuring around 9 weeks) I do have some health problems and considered high risk so it was a big relief to know that so far everything is going okay

Leeds General Infirmary Births
Hey, has anyone got pictures of their rooms from LGI labour ward?
I'm making my birthing plan and wondering if I'll sound silly when giving my preferences for environment. For example, I've asked for a dim room with sensory lights if possible. But if its your typical white basic room I won't bother coming across as a primadonna 😅
