The hospital called me and told me to come in at 7am instead of 7:30am, however they also said I would be coming in with 6 other women and the list won't be made until we are all admitted (understandable). The theatre is open from 8 or 8:30am until 7:30pm and they don't do electives on the weekend. What are estimated odds I will actually get to meet my little one tomorrow? Just worried as I am not allowed even water from 7am on

I'd go in even earlier to try to be the first checked in...

It won’t be selected on a first come first serve basis sadly- this is 6 electives they haven’t even factored in the emergency C-sections into this…
I’d say it really does depend on how they compile their list and how many emergency patients are seen than day too.

Good luck with your c-section and I hope your first!!

I insisted that I had to be first on the list (I have extremely bad anxiety) and they let me go first x

im surprised they even scheduled seven electives for one day, that feels pretty shitty, there's no way they fit all seven in which surely they know. i would think that's ambitious even without emergencies which there will be.
my understanding is they get ranked on need which is assessed within an hour or two of intake, so if you have any complications you're higher on the list, fewer or none then lower. you'll usually know within a few hours where you are in the queue and if you're later on you can often eat and drink until a later cutoff point.
i think sadly the odds you go tomorrow are low unless you have complications. sorry to say that and hopefully i am wrong! worst case scenario you'll be high on the list on the other side of the weekend and you'll meet your little one soon
Having one due to having a previous C-section and also baby's stomach is on 96th percentile so I kept getting told the risks of a vbac
How many mommas have had more than 3 c-sections? I want to have another baby but I’m a little nervous about the c section part. All my pregnancies were perfect with no issues I just had to have c sections for all.

I’ve been getting loads of low down pressure and yesterday it was especially bad, I went to the loo and as I relaxed to pee I had a pop feeling inside my coochie 🫣
It wasn’t my waters because I didn’t leak anything, but I’ve had the same pressure today like it might happen again and it’s the weirdest feeling 😭
Also lots of sharp stabbing sensations (not painful more uncomfy) like someone’s sticking something pointy inside me and nudging my cervix 🙈
Has anyone else had these feelings?!
I’m seeing the midwife today for an exam and a sweep 🥹

I’m 38 weeks and at my appt she said baby’s head down but facing my side. I’m convinced he’s not head down as I can feel so much at the sides of my bump

I’m being induced or having a c section at 37 weeks (29th October) due to a few medical reasons
Anybody else?
