Elective CSection times?

I'm being admitted to APH at 11am on the day of my section so must be an afternoon slot does anyone know the rough times this could go up to? X

Mine was a cat3 not elective, but I think they will want to see you asap as they don't have that many rooms for you to wait in. Although I thought they had everyone come at 11? So not sure.

Ahhh ok. My date has been moved from 30th and on that letter it said I would be admitted at 7am so I thought maybe they have morning and afternoon slots x

@Lauren maybe, I had to come in at 8 for mine but as I said it was Cat3 so treated more like an emergency one and everyone was surprised to see me there 🤣 but the piece of paper with instructions on said 11 as their usual time

I had to be in at 7am for mine and there were 3 of us for the morning slot. I was last down and baby was born at 12:40pm if that’s any help. I’m guessing they’d have lunch and then start the afternoon list

thank you xxx

@Lauren what day are you going in? I've been asked to come in for 11am on a Wednesday and they said I'm the first on the list and will likely go down at 1.30pm if no emergencies as Wednesday is just afternoon appointments x

When did you find out your c section date? And is the section done at 39weeks?

@Holly I've had my date since I seen the consultant after my 20 week scan. Was originally booked for 39 weeks but it's been moved to 37 due to restricted growth (was given this date at 36 weeks) xx

@Nell mine is Mon 21st, my letter says to come at 11 xxx

@Lauren hopefully you're first in the afternoon 🤞🤞

@Nell yes hopefully fingers crossed 🩷🩷

@Lauren amazing thank you! I have my consultant appointment on Tuesday. I’d love them to say I could have her at 37 weeks due to my medical history but have a feeling they will say 39 weeks

So I had my appointment with the consultant and I’ve been refered to the medical team so still haven’t been given a date for c section 😔

@Holly aw no how many weeks are you? What's the medical team xxx

I’m 21 weeks so still ages to go. No idea what the medical team is, the letter that arrived says consultant so I’m confused
