I was and I chose a vaginal delivery... I had no choice once I got to hospital as I was 7cm dilated 🤷🏽🤦🏽

Yes you can choose, this is discussed with your midwife, id mention it at your next appointment so she can talk to you about it and your options

Yes you can choose. Both of mine have/will be c section

Yes, I did choose mine to be c section.

Yeah you can have an elective C section but it has to be scheduled in advance. You need a theatre spot.
1 in 3 women who are scheduled for elective C section go into spontaneous labour before the date. So some end up birthing vaginally
Also if you have a theatre spot but too many women need an emergency C section, you get bumped for obvious reasons
Hey lovely moms! I’m 36 weeks now and I’m trying to get everything together 😂
What is ACTUALLY needed in the hospital bag? I’m sick of seeing all the social media influencers and what they bring.
I imagine clothes for a few days, unsure if i bring pads and such? Also, I plan on exclusively pumping so do I bring my breast pump with me? I see some people do, and some people don’t.
Any advice helps, thank you ♡

Guys my water just broke and I’m wondering how I should go about feeling baby’s movements?? I was gonna go to sleep and realised my water broke and haven’t felt baby move since (maybe 1 hour) how normal or abnormal is it? Called the hospital and they told me to try and sleep and come in the morning to get checked if nothing has happened until then
