Help me with my predicament please!
Currently 39 weeks today, I was booked in for an elective section a few weeks back because I was told the baby was on the 94th centile and I suffer with hospital related anxiety. My recent scan showed her measuring smaller and I felt better about giving birth naturally and hadn’t received a date for surgery so was going to go au natural. I’ve been having cramping and contractions since Monday but no proper labour has started. Today I received an email saying I’m booked in for an elective section next Wednesday and now I don’t know which route to go down especially because my body is getting ready for something with the twinges I feel but I’m also getting really impatient. Please help!

Such a personal decision! I'm personally keen to give birth naturally if all is well as not keen on the recovery time of a C, but have friends who said theirs was the best thing ever. I had to make a decision about something a while ago and sat down with a pen and paper doing the BRAIN acronym and found that quite helpful. Good luck either way so exciting 💗
Plenty of time until Wednesday, you can always decline on the day as well 🙌🏼 Just follow your gut.
You can wait right up until the last moment to decide ❤️ if there is no medical reason either way, go with your gut feel x
