Hi All,
So, this week I was told that I would not be able to deliver my child naturally due to it being MASSIVE and having huge shoulders compared with head (risk of shoulder dystocia) and baby is too big to engage. So after a long consultation my partner and I agreed with the doctor that C-Section was the best way to go.
Doc then tried to book us in for the section but couldn't because they were fully booked right up til my due date (didn't look past that, don't know if they usually do??).
So she said to me that I could come back in on tuesday (when I'll be 39+3) and book it then, which sounded odd to me as surely then we will be another week behind. So now I have no idea when my Section will be and I can't sleep or eat because I'm so nervous about it! I feel like if I had a date, I might be able to start preparing mentally. I've tried calling the hospital to explain and they just told me not to worry and that things would get "moved around" so they could fit me in.
Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with this? If so, how much warning were you given before they gave you the section? And if they don't have any space will I be waiting around til after my due date?
Thanks in advance!
xx
