Help! Estimated date of delivery (NHS app)

I’m due on the 25th October but have opted for an elective c section which I was told is usually scheduled at 39 weeks (my previous elected was at 39+4). I’ve just seen that in my records on the NHS app under consultants and events that the following has been added: 29 October 2024 Coded entry - Estimated date of delivery (1514) I’m due to see the consultant next week which I assume is when I will officially be booked in but now i’m panicking because the date recorded on the NHS app maybe suggests that my delivery date may exceed my due date… am I misinterpreting this and worrying for nothing or is it likely that they are scheduling my c section for that date? I’m low risk but suffering from severe PGP and have a history of panic disorder/ other mental health struggles so would prefer not to risk waiting to go into labour and for it to then end up being an emergency 😩 I also have a toddler at home so family and friends have scheduled holiday at work on the advice that I would be admitted around 39 weeks and it being scheduled beyond that date would mean that I would no longer have the support at home for the desired amount of time. Sorry for the essay!

You will need to insist with phone calls and let them know there's been a mistake asap. The same happened to me. My due date is 7th oct and they booked my pre op assesment for 7th and elective on 9th...I called until they changed it. Having mine today😇 good luck

I’m having an elective due to a request (am also low risk) and it’s been booked for two days after my due date, which I was also very confused about. I’m going to check with my midwife at my next appointment in case it’s a mistake, but I’m assuming it’s just because they’re very busy. Was very frustrated and upset by it. But do check in with your midwife or speak to the consultant at your appointment. Good luck!
