Elective C Section thoughts…

I am going back and forth in my mind with the idea of opting for an elective c section for my first baby (I know it’s early to plan these things). Part of me feels like it is the best option for me, I am seriously scared of ending up having an emergency c section and the trauma that goes with it so wondering if an elective will give me the peace of mind and ability to have a plan in place with less unknown. Interested to hear if anyone else is thinking of opting for an elective with no medical reasoning?

Does this look like early labour?

I’m 40+4 and this morning I’ve started getting what feels like contractions. It’s where my pelvic area is and they feel like some sharp pulling which starts gets worse then goes. I can’t explain the feeling any differently. With my fist my waters broke and I cannot really remember what early contractions felt like as it has been 6 years.

Help please!

Hi, just looking for some advice. Been suffering with back pain and pelvic girdle throughout pregnancy, and now entered third trimester and it’s gone up another notch and pretty unbearable! Think triggered from a 3 hour drive and back the next day for a work event earlier this week 😞
Has anyone got any quick help tips they found worked well?
