Still waiting for date

Hey! So I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and still don’t have my date for C section. They told me it will be from 39 weeks which would be from 28th dec for me! Should I have heard by now. Can’t relax for Christmas, I just want to know when I’m gonna have my baby. Also… has anybody had loose stools and insomnia at this stage of pregnancy?

Hi yes you should get a date around 36 weeks as your c section will always be at 39 weeks I have had one elective c section and will be having another one in July I would call your midwife urgently tomorrow xx

I found out at 38 exactly and it was 5 days later sometimes due to delays and an increase in emergencies they are behind of planned c sections and need to catch up but defiantly ring your midwife or if you have the consultant that went through the operation with you I would ring them As they can probs chase internally! I couldn’t sleep at the end of my pregnancy at all and change in stools is super normal too!!

@Sophie I seen my midwife on Tuesday and she said I have to wait until the hospital call me. So frustrating x

@Julia thank you! When I went for my last growth scan on 9th dec the midwife told me she could see that it was booked but couldn’t tell me the date for some reason. She did say it might be 27th or 30th dec because of all the bank holidays with Christmas and new year etc. the sleep is doing my head in, hence why I’m still wide away now. I can’t seem to sleep until around 3/4am then have to get my son up for school etc at 7. Just want him out now x

It took me 4 weeks I think to finally get an answer. They wanted me to have her at 37 weeks and I asked for 37+4. I requested it as soon as I could around 32 weeks I think. It was quite frustrating because my mom and husband had to request off work. Keep checking in. With it only being a week away they should get back to you soon!

Why are you having a C-section?

@Amanda Brown preeclampsia in my previous pregnancy, disc prolapse and baby is measuring bit

I would 100% speak to them, as this happened to me and it turned out I had been lost in the system! 🫠 Ended up getting my date 4 days before which led to a lot of extra stress and panic
