Winchester Hospital and c-sections

This will be my second baby (currently 28weeks pregnant). First was born at Princess Anne Hospital via emergency c-section. I will be opting for an elective c-section this time round. I’m due 13th April, when am I likely to get given a date for the elective c-section. I’m finding it difficult to plan in my remaining annual leave prior to starting maternity leave as late as possible. Thanks ☺️

Hiya I had a planned c section at Winchester and got my date booked in pretty early. I can't remember exactly when, but maybe 4 months before it?

@Claire oh that’s pretty early. Was that booked through your consultant. As I don’t have an appointment with him until im 32weeks and midwife hasn’t mentioned anything at my 28week appointment x

Ah OK. Yes I think it was through the consultant from memory. I saw one throughout cause I'm older, so that's probably why x

My first planned section I think I got the date around 35/36 weeks, my second planned section I got my date at 23 weeks however this was due to consultant not needing to see me again! First one was 2021 and second was December just gone. Both in Winchester :) x
