C section

Yeah, opted for one with baby 1 and the same for baby 2 next month. Loved it so I’m really excited for baby 2s birth. Super calm, relaxed. Radio was on, had skin to skin straight away, delayed cord clamping, camera rolling. I was up walking and showering alone after a few hours, carrying and feeding baby fine by the end of the day, walking the ward second day to get moving and took public transport home. No worse pain than a bad period for a week. Day 5 I was in Costco shopping. Take your meds like clockwork for that first week, stay mobile as it aids recovery and lessens pain, get lots of snacks in the house and wear big knickers. By week 6 I was back exercising and by week 8 I was on a plane to Australia to see family.

Yes. My first was due to medical reasons but I still had the option to be induced. This pregnancy I’ve said c section from the start and was referred to a consultant who booked it in. Best to raise it with your midwife 😊 it might take a few weeks to get a consultant app and they do like to push for vaginal (depending on your circumstances) and make sure you understands risks etc. but you are allowed to choose

Thanks so much both very helpful 🙂

Ohh yes!! This time round defo elective section. I was advised to this time but you can just tell them at your 34 week appointment
