C-section Cancellation Advise

Sorry to hear that. It's rubbish! I remember this with my first and we almost got cancelled after waiting all day because we were last on the list, because they've already cancelled that should hopefully bump you up the list but may be worth asking? Not sure if your husband could maybe work the odd extra day (like Tuesday) to try and keep additional paternity leave days, appreciate most places aren't that flexible really. My husbands work have said they will Officially book his leave and some annual leave so it's on the system but he will speak to his manager once baby is here to see how he wants to use it, eg go part time for longer rather than booking continuous weeks off
@Genevieve what do mean you can always start your labour?? It’s not switch you can flick!
@April I’d assume she means have an induction? I’ve just had my c section date through aswell and been told I’m last on the list for the day too, I’m dreading this happening to me 🙁 best of luck I hope you get to meet your baby soon xxx
You can ask for a induction but there are other ways to induce labor walking a lot, sex, idk if your going to be pumping but pumping can as well
Only thing I’d say is maybe ask your husband’s work if he could go in for a couple of days and delay his paternity leave? Get those days back? How annoying! So sorry to hear that!
@Genevieve none of those are a given for starting labour, it's a nice idea but you can't just decide when to start.
Actually my OBGYN recommended me to do those with my first to induce my labor naturally
@Genevieve but they're not a guarantee to start labour. Its a nice idea, but they're not guaranteed to have an effect. If they were, no one would ever go over due and everyone would have their baby on a day they chose!
There just suggestions.
You can always start your labor because if you’re already in labor, they have to give you a C-section
