Crying

I feel awful and not ready for a c section. So I had my LG in 2022 via C section and I wanted a vbac this time around so I told the consultant that I would opt for a c section if I'm overdue without going into labour. She was okay with it and gave them the window I chose. But the date I was given was too early for me and they said they haven't got any more spaces and was asked if I'ld like to go to another hospital. I'm currently 39+3 days and C section is booked at 39+6days I've got loads of cramping and braxton hicks but no labour yet. I been crying for days I just need to buy some more time. Don't know what to do

Don’t go. Show up when your in labor. They can take the baby out in 2 minutes, if the labor doesn’t go well. but submit your desires over to God and ask what you should do. But don’t be afraid!

@Elizabeth Elle thank you very much

Don’t feel pressured into a date/timeline just to suit the hospital schedule. Tell them you’ve decided to wait and see if labour starts on its own. They can’t force you to do anything and you are totally within your rights to do this. You don’t even need to book in a new date. Just say you’ll be declining that c-section date and will be in touch if labour hasn’t started on its own. If you get to whatever date and no labour then you can contact the hospital and they will sort a new date. You won’t be forgotten about or left to fend for yourself. Try to step away from the stress of all this as that won’t help labour and just focus on getting that oxytocin up.

We booked for a planned C.S on 1St of Oct and my water broke on 28th sept so I was able to have my Vbac

@Mary wow did you do all unmedicated?

@Porcha Grigsby my water broke a day after I went on a very long walk. I was given a pain relief when in labor but didn’t do much for me
