Early C Section?

[CBmummy19]

So I have a scan in two days to see if my low lying placenta has moved up but not hopeful that it has. Because of this I’m expecting to be booked for a c sec. I’m currently seriously struggling with the pregnancy, I’m in constant pain to the point I’ve been prescribed Dihydrocodeine but I’m reluctant to take it as it passes the placenta and I worry about the baby. I also have hyper sensitivity and am feeling her nails scraping my insides and she’s stronger now so he movements physically hurt me all the time. I’m 33 weeks now but she is measuring 36 week already which is part of what I’m struggling with I’m measuring almost full term with potentially another 7 weeks to go like this and I just don’t think I can I feel like crying everyday I just want some relief from constant pain. Do you think because she’s measuring so big they’d book me in for a C section early? I know they sometimes move due dates forward and if they did that even for a couple weeks based on how big she is I’d only have to wait another 4 weeks not 7 which is something it’s killing me and effecting my mental health too and I just feel drained beyond belief

Depends on your local hospital, but mine wouldn’t consider earlier than 38 weeks without a very strong medical reason, and are much more comfortable with 39+ weeks.

They will want baby to stay in for as long as possible. DD was born at 38 weeks but wasnt growing well and there were concerns about the health of both us. I'm sorry you're struggling and are in pain. Hopefully you are being well looked after.

She literally so big that my stomach is squashed and I can’t eat a full meal without getting sick it won’t fit I have to eat half and then half cold once I’ve digested it and if I bend down I’m sick too. It’s awful I don’t know how to cope anymore I just want to cry all the time

I asked on mental health grounds and was refused despite already having had a emcs and having gone into labour before 39 weeks with dc1. I went into labour ahead of my elective date with dc2 and asked if I happened to get pregnant again would I be able to book an elective earlier being 2 for 2 and was told no.

You can obviously ask but I think the response 99.9 of the time is no.

My 8lb 6oz-er was somersaulting right up until the day before my CS at 39 weeks. Unstable lie - transverse, breech, footling breech, back to transverse, head down, head wedged under my ribs, you name it. I remember sitting on the settee crying one night and begging him to stay still.

You have all my sympathy, it was more painful than a natural labour. The feeling when they lifted him out was glorious - like all my organs could move back into place.

How big is she OP?

I get it, I had twins - two babies, two sacs of fluid, two placentas... I was a mess and in so much pain.

You really really don’t want a premature baby unless you can avoid it. Mine were born at 35+1 so not very early and both are disabled, we spent two months in hospital and I saw lots of premature babies - some were fine despite being earlier, some really struggled despite being a bit later. I know it’s awful but you are so close - hang in there

I also struggle massively with mental health and am on NHS/NSPCC courses for my mental health struggles and being st risk of post natal depression as it is. I’m praying between her measuring so big already and the toll it’s taking on my mental health already they’ll allow it because it’s too much I can’t deal with it the pain and sickness is too much. She’s measuring fundal height of 33cm (which is the 50th centile for 35 weeks and above the 10th centile for 36 weeks) am currently 33 weeks pregnant
