No Cesarean Date

I am 38 weeks today and have not been told by the booking team when my (elective) c section date will be. I went to the maternity assessment centre twice last week and saw 2 doctors who I know told the team that mine should be done from 39 weeks as I am at higher risk of DVT due to a previous surgery. I called the team today and was told they are holding 5 August (my due date) which is 40 weeks. I am so anxious about the extra strain/risk waiting another week is putting me and I have no idea what to do. I am on my way back into hospital now to find the right people to contact but I am so anxious at this point.

Pretty sure they should’ve booked you in by now and for 39 wks!

Just spotted your post. They were super late in telling me mine but I’m now booked in for next Monday at Chelsea. Hope you got it sorted!

The c section booking team number is 0203 315 6948 btw

@Jo thank you so much! I ended up having to go in and ask to speak to the booking organiser directly and they have now eventually booked me in for Tuesday after telling me they hadn’t received the requests from my consultant - all quite stressful. Good luck for Monday!!
