Elective c section

They refused mine on health grounds. Going to ask for induction for health reasons and see them on Wednesday. I believe you should get a date for a c section once you've gone past 32 weeks but could differ from trust to trust. X

@Jolene why did they refuse ? I have too see consultant next week xx

I have my appointment with consultant tomorrow to discuss elective section. As I understand it, my area certainly, you don't get the date until much closer -usually a week or 2 beforehand..

My previous trust gave you your date once you reached around 36/37 weeks but on the basis that it could change depending on availability. I’m now living in London and the consultant here said if I wanted an elective section (which I’m not opting for) they could give me a date now x

I was told by my consultant at 16 weeks it would be 36 weeks for my date however I am not sure if that will change to my 32 weeks appointment with GD and going on to insulin x

I had elective with my first and now again for my second. In my area it was the week before the due date and they only did elective c sections on a Tuesday or a Thursday. Although even at the pre op they were warning me it could change at any point based on what is happening and other emergencies that came in.

I had an appointment at 29 weeks with a consultant and they booked me in for my elective then and there for 39 weeks x

@Jolene under NICE guidelines they're not allowed to tell you how to give birth!

I got my date around 25 weeks pregnant after speaking to a consultant about growth scans and gestational diabetes tests.

My c-section has been booked since January for when I turn 39 weeks. I'll be getting my official date at my 36 week appointment.
