Confused about preop

I keep seeing posts about section pre op appointments but I haven’t been given one ? Does everyone have one or is it trust dependent
I will give them a ring in a min but wanting to see if anyone else hasn’t had one?

I got mine the day I asked my consultant for a c section. I got my pre op date, not my section date though x

Got mine when I went for the consultation, but then it got cancelled recently

Ask them because the last time I saw midwife she told me “they told you, you have pre-op appointment on the 11th” and I told her no I didn’t know anything 😅

Yes you do have to have one! Mine is 2 days before my section x

I’ve got one two days before my c-section. They definitely like one last blood check etc

I haven't got a pre op date either. Noone has mentioned it to me either, wouldn't know it excited a pre op appointment if I had not been on this app!

Thank you all , luckily I saw that post and called! They asked for me to go in today so they have time to cross match blood etc 🤦🏼‍♀️ apparently I hadn’t even been put on the list for needing a pre op !

So much pain

Any advice I Will take it!!

The last couple of days my pain has gone from a 2 to a 8 where I've got tears in my eyes.
Feels like the baby is either pushing in the pelvic bone or digging into to ribs.
Ive taken paracetamols and tried heat on my hooch.
Can't rest because I have a 3 year old.
Im debating phoning triage and my community midwife isn't very good.
Advice please

Pre op appointment

What should I ask?
What happens during the appointment?
I’m starting to panic a little.

Bump size

For context - I'm Size 8, 5"1
Late afternoon/eveing my bump gets a lot bigger.

I went out for food last night and the waitress asked how far along I was, when I told her just gone 4 months (17 wks, 2 day) she said wow are you having twins I was so shocked and felt huge! I said no, we've have 3 scans and definitely only 1 baby. She proceeded to say we should get a second opinion as I look about 6 months.

It's been on my mind all night!

I have a really healthy diet, loads of fruit and veg. (Cravings of cucumber and bell peppers)

Am I just taking this too personal? Has anyone else experienced comments like this? Xxx

Collecting colostrum🥰

Hopefully the last full week of collecting colostrum before baby girl makes an appearance🥰 this is the most I’ve got in one sitting.. I can’t believe I’ve collected 20.49ml altogether🩷
