C Section booking

Hello! Have any C Section mamas received their surgery date yet? Or know roughly how soon before they let you know your date? I’m due on the 15th but haven’t heard of when my section will be yet so was just hoping for some advice/previous experiences before I start chasing. I’m with Aneurin Bevan health board in south wales if that makes any difference 🙂

Anaesthesia appointment

Hi!
Ive been given an appointment with a consultant and it just says anaesthesia appointment. Does anyone know what this could be for? Everyone I know who’s had babies recently said they never had this appointment and no ones said anything to me at any appointments.

Am I being dramatic

I posted a couple days ago about losing my plug throughout the day in big chucks and I had no contractions or tightenings just kept coming out. Since last night I haven’t been able to sleep because of nausea and pain in my stomach and back, I’ve gone to the toilet about 6 times, could this be my body clearing itself? I didn’t have any pain this morning but since i’ve been relaxing i’ve had tightenings right down in my pelvis, some painful some not. I’m 36+3 so have been advised by midwife to call if i have tightenings but i wouldn’t say they’re regular so I don’t know whether i just monitor it or call them? I hate calling and it turning out to be nothing 🙈 It’s my second pregnancy but was induced the first time round so I never experienced this!

Living in a top floor flat.

Post C-section.

So I’m 9 days PP today.
I’m still quite sore and heavy at my scar site. I daren’t bend to pick things up still & I’m still walking around the house/stairs slowly. Don’t feel comfortable unless I’m taking pain relief & also don’t want to leave the house as the car journey is way too bumpy & uncomfortable 😩
Is anyone else at a similar stage?
Does this all sound normal?

I have been experiencing period pains that come and go since about 11:45am and now they seem to just be there like a dull period pain constantly? Anyone else experienced this? Is it worth a call to triage?

What is the dr feeling for when they stick their fingers up there?

I know for dilation but like what is it supposed to feel like if I’m dilating?
