What was your elective section experience

You don’t have to have either, you can wait for baby to choose their birthday x

I had an elective because my son was breech and I didnt want to end in an emergency one. It was honestly really calm and controlled from start to finish. I had my own playlist on during the section which made me feel better. I felt really looked after and all the staff were really good and calming my nerves and making sure I was okay. I was nervous about feeling sick so they gave my antisickness as a preventative which helped.

Baby was absolutely fine and his dad cut his cord which was also what we wanted. The doctor got dad ready to film/picture the moment he was lifted out so we have that lovely memory. I found recovery okay, just made sure to stay on top of pain medication and my partner was really good at making sure I had them on time which helped.

Overall I found the whole experience very calm and I also felt in control which was something I was worried about x x

Absolutely wonderful. Barely felt the epidural and the nurse held my hand throughout. The c section was over in about 25 minutes barely any pain. I got to choose the song she was born too. It was magical I get emotional thinking about it. I know how terrifying it it but honestly, for me it was magical.

Bloody loved it. I had one as baby as breech but my waters went a week early so it was an emergency. But if I’m being honest it was the most relaxing and magical ever. I was fine, baby was fine and so was recovery xx
