Im 40 weeks on Sunday and have a C-section booked for Tuesday. I don’t want the section but because of previous C-section due to preemie baby I’m not allowed to be induced - either by body goes into labour naturally or C-section :( - I have a needy toddler at home so would prefer natural in terms of recovery!
Please give me all your tips 🙏🏼

Why don’t you push back to 41 weeks? You’ll hardly even be overdue on Tuesday!

No tips as I’ve never gone into labour naturally.. but just wanted to reassure you that if you do end up with the c-section, your toddler will adjust.
I also have an extremely needy girl and she has done absolutely incredible. Yes it’s hard, but I’m 6 days post c-section and already feeling back to normal. X

I’m 41 + 2 and hanging in there wanting to avoid induction. Perfectly normal and healthy to have a baby at 42 weeks as long as you and baby are healthy. If it were me, I’d give yourself more time
