Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔

I was already in hospital due to failed induction. But the team came round to see me about 9am and she was born at 11:02. Was second on the list

I had to be there for 7:30am went down at 11:00am was in the tabke by 11:35am baby girl was born at 11:41am x

I had to be in 7:00 with all of my sections. First baby born 11:10 (second on list), second baby born 14:49 (was delayed to the afternoon due to emergencies and complications in theatre), third baby born 11:51 (second on list).

I went in at 12.30pm and had to be there at 7am

I had to be in for 7am and I didn’t get my c section till 3pm ! I was second on the list X

First i went in at 7:30 was third on the list and he was born at 2:02pm. Second i went in at 6:30 and was first on the list and baby was born at 10:08am i believe. My 3rd i was already in hospital and was just slotted in once everyone was free but went down to labour and delivery at 8am and she was born at 2:14pm i believe. Wasnt sure but i didnt leave theatre until 6pm due to complications

My son was born at 10:44am

I think we had to be there for 7, I was second in line and my son was born at 11:01 am xxx

I was in at 7am, second on the list and baby was born at 9.05.xx

Went in for 7.30am. I was first on the list and went to theatre around 9.30am.

Seems like 11ish is the average - hope I can go without food that long 😅 thanks for the replies x

I was second on the list and went in at 10 and had my girl at 10:33 x

I was in for the morning slot and second on the list and went to theatre around 11am.
Edit to add: eat as late as you can at night. I don't do well without food so it was something I worried about but it wasn't as bad as I thought. But I was definitely very hungry when I went into surgery.

I had to be there for 7.30am but didn’t get taken to theatre until 1.30pm, was absolutely starving!
I thought they would let me eat a meal straight after but all I was allowed was a biscuit and then some soup for dinner. Tbh I felt way too sick though after the surgery for hours 😩

I was asked to arrive at 7.30am and was first on the list. I went into the surgery room around 9ish and baby delivered by 9.30am
I was first on the list due to having GD and my hospital prioritise ‘higher risk’ electives first and GD fell into that category. There were 3 other women with the same arrival time as me. I remember one of them didn’t have her elective until around lunchtime due to some emergencies.

I'm at 7, I was supposed to be 9am (reality was 9.30) but they lost my blood test so bumped until 10.30 when we left for theatre and she was born at 11.27

Went in for 7:30am, he was here at 9:13am x

I went in for 7am, had my daughter at 09:33am and was home the following morning around 10:30am :)

It will depend on if you have any other health issues as well I was first on list as I’m a type 1 diabetic so was taken at 8am and born at 9.16am x also emergencies get priority I was told as well x
Hi everyone. My daughter is 13 months old and I have her via c section last August due to failure to progress. Everything else was fine apart from that. My son is 10 and I had a c section with him too. I want to start trying for another baby next year and would really love to hear if anyone had any positive stories about a vbac after 2 c sections x

I’ve just had a growth scan at 36+3 and baby is currently weighing 8lbs 1oz.
I have a consultation appointment tomorrow to discuss further. My first was born at 39+3 and weighed 8lbs 3oz (I was induced) so I’m quite shocked at nearly 3 and a half weeks to go he’s so big. Did anyone else have something similar to this and how did it work out?

Should I wait till 12 weeks or get and early scan?

Hey all. So many people have told me that I should definitely pack lip balm in my hospital bag because of the warmth and getting dehydrated.
But I've also read that you can't use most lip balms with gas and air because of the ingredients (usually petroleum jelly etc).
So does anybody have recommendations for safe lip balms to use, or is it a total no go?
