C-section date
I’m 39 weeks tomorrow midwife come out last week baby’s head was not in pelvis. I was going to try for natural birth as last pregnancy was elective C-section due to her being breech. I’m seeing her again Tuesday and have said if head is still not in pelvis
Will just have another c-section. Anyone made a late decision with wanting a c-section when did they book you in for or how long of a wait was it. I’m really hoping they will get me in for when I’m 40 weeks and not 41 weeks

Following. I’m 41 week tomorrow and due to be induced sometime next weeks but don’t have a date yet. I’m so over it and thinking to opt for a section if nothing happens before. I had one with my first as well.
It is common for subsequent babies not to engage until labour. Are you referring to babies positooning? Are they not head down now? What position are they in?

C-Section Pain
I had a c-section 2nd August (4 weeks) and the pain did start getting so much better by week 3 where I wasn’t feeling any pain at all and thought I was recovering well. However the last couple days I have been experiencing pain again in my lower tummy. My scar looks and feels fine it’s just the lower part of my tummy that I’m experiencing pain again. The pain feels exactly like how it was right at the start of my recovery!! Anyone else had this?

How did you leave the hospital after a C section?
Did you walk? How far?
Wheelchair? Combination? Who pushed your wheelchair? Who carried baby? Did you have a long walk to the car park?
Did you have a choice? Did the hospital offer you the option?

Who should I contact?
I had my baby 5 months ago via emergency C-section as he was breech. I healed really well and my little boy is so chilled that he’s already got me thinking about giving him a sibling 😂
I know the recommendation I was given was to wait 12–18 months, but I’d really like to speak to a medical professional about it properly, as I wasn’t given much information at the time.
Who would be the best person to reach out to? I feel like my GP probably wouldn’t be much help, but at the same time, the only contact I have for the midwives is maternity triage, which surely isn’t really for questions like this?
I’d just like to have a proper conversation about the risks, timing and what would be best following an emergency C-section before making any decisions.

Help
Hey guys! I had braxton hicks on Thursday. I was kept in over night because I’m pregnant with Twins and preterm birth is really common.
I got out on Friday and was fine Friday and Saturday but today they’ve came back really painfully I’m wondering if I need to get back in touch with the hospital or if I’m ok to leave it?
I’ve got no other signs of labour other than the random pains that are coming and going
