What can I expect from a CS?

[9DonkeysAndABoy]

So, having found out that I may have ELCS due to medical reasons (the fibroids noone else seems to have ), can someone tell me what the procedure is? I read stuff about catheters and such, but I hardly even know what that means? Could someone tell me a bit more about what the whole procedure entails?

Also, is there any difference between private and NHS CS? I am a private patient at Chelsea and Westminster - but CS was not a reason, quite the opposite, I thought it would be a natural birth until yesterday. Now, with a medical reason, I feel like I would be getting exactly the same consultant lead care whether I was on NHS or not!

Bloom It shouldn't do, it'll be something they take into account when they are booking you for surgery though. I never knew anyone have to not have diathermy because of metalwork on their bones! You may want to check with the nurses prepping you whether they need to stick the plate on the other leg, or just elsewhere - I can't remember [hconfused]
