Caesarean Booked

So I've finally had my telephone appointment with the doctor regarding my elective caesarean. It was a very positive conversation and made me feel like I'd made the right choice. She was lovely! I'm booked in for this Friday (due date today). Mine is a grade 3, which means I'm sort of in between emergencies and electives. I've to ring the birth suite Friday morning to see what their diary is like and what time they want me in. So, although positive news, I'm still unsure whether I will see my little girl on Friday. It's a very weird feeling having a date for the birth of your child. Although I feel relief knowing it's likely gonna be Friday, I also feel apprehensive, nervous, and scared. I feel sort of sad that these last few days are gonna be the only days me and my husband will spend together for a long time, alone. But on the other hand I'm excited to see her, meet her and for us to be her parents. And to watch the person I have loved for nearly 19 years become the father he's always wanted to be 💗 I've just got such a mixture of emotions running through me. Please don't judge on why I've decided on an elective caesarean. These are for personal reasons and family history. I just want to say thank you to anyone who's posted a comment on any posts I've posted or even anyone I've spoken to. Through my pregnancy, this group has been a huge support for me! And I wish you all the best of luck in the world for this new chapter 💗 Girl power 💗💗💗

No judgement here at all. Wishing you all the best on Friday lovely. Not long to go 🥰 x

@Leona thank you so much 💓 and all the best to you if you haven't had your little one yet xx

@Natalie thank you ☺️ I’m not due til the 31st. No sign of little lady yet, can’t wait to meet her though x

@Leona oh wow Halloween baby, I absolutely love that! I've been determined to have this little girl in October!! I wish you all the best sweet xx

All the best, you got this!! ☺️

You're going to do great! It's very exciting when you know you're so close to seeing your baby :D Also sometimes an elective is the best decision, no matter the reason.

No judgement at all- whatever form of birth works for you and baby is the key thing. I was also a maternal request csection though in the end we found out baby had turned breech late on and was big, so actually a csection was then recommended by the consultant! This means it has been brought forward a few days- I’m also due in on Friday. Totally with you on the mixture of nerves and excitement. At times I feel fairly chill about it and at other times absolutely terrified! It all feels very surreal to be honest. Wishing you all the best for Friday, will be thinking of you! X

@Alice aww thank you! All the best for Friday too! Xx
