Heya! Was hoping someone with experience could help me figure out how hard it is to get approved for elective c-section in the UK. And could help me to build my case for it!
I am 2nd time pregnant after emergency c-section 2.5 years ago. I am only in my first trimester and so far don’t have any specific recommendation for c-section. However for various reasons I would like to request elective one this time.
My main reason is mental health and stressful birth experience. I was desperately trying to request c-section with my first by the end, but everyone just kept offering diverse interventions to avoid it, just to end up having c-section anyway, but unexpected and stressed.
I am also mum of a toddler now with no support group other than my husband around…I simply can’t afford to have relatives hang around for weeks waiting till I go into labor so they can look after my older son
Just looking to hear your experience of getting successfully approved 🙏 I had a first midwife appointment and she booked me with consultant to discuss it

I just want to know what I should do as a first time mum currently pregnant with my first baby, I don’t know where to keep the scans I have to keep them safe do I use a folder or buy a baby’s first memory box, memory book or scrap book type thing?

Anyone else experiencing or have done in the past bowel incontinence after a forceps and episiotomy with second degree tear? Haven’t been able to hold wind in much since giving birth but now lost control of my bowels on two occasions on way to the toilet with urgency with very little warning. Will call midwife tomorrow but wondered if anyone can offer me hope this isn’t forever!
