I have opted for elective C-section. My date is booked, but I am told I won't know which Dr would run the operation until the day before going to operation hall. Can anyone has experience to share. I'm very anxious not knowing which Dr will run the C-section. I'm booked at Barnet Hospital north london. Will appreciate it if you share any of your experiences.
When did you ring Labour ward. My contractions have gone to irregular to now regular every 7 mins (see screenshot) they told me to ring when I have 3 within 10 minutes but this is my 2nd baby and I feel like it's going to get closer very quickly! Also TMI but does anyone get loads of wind when having a contraction 🙈
how do you guys know how dilated you are or effaced etc? my last appointment was September 26th so they didn’t check then and my next one is November 12th and I think baby is going to be here by then? 🤣
I was booked for an induction on my EDD by midwife due to gdm and it’s meant to be today but no appointment time has been given. Are they meant to call to set a time? I was also told I’d be called in daily for monitoring if I decline induction but no appointments are set and I’m really confused by how it all works.
Hi, I'm given my date for elective c-section, but I am told I won't know which doctor will operate until the day. Do you have a similar experience? I'm very anxious not knowing who will run the operation.
I had a c section on Friday and I haven’t managed to do a poo yet. I have got piles too and it feels so uncomfortable like I have poo stuck in my bum! Will it go away? What do I do? It’s a horrible feeling! Thank you.
