i dont know what to expect from them? anyone have and idea or done it before.
i was aiming for normal birth but the baby is not ready to go down and they saying its not good to leave it more than 10 days overdue, i am really planning for 3 children in my life but now if i go for an other c/s it may make it hard for me.

I'm no expert but believe Posh Spice had all 4 kids with ELCS so I guess it is possible!!
Sorry no other useful advice.

Mum had four sections, so don't worry about that bit too much. No idea what to expect from the meeting, but if they're advising a section, go with it. Having had a previous section it really isn't ideal to wait too far past your due date as it starts to increase your risk of rupture.

Have my section booked for next Tuesday (2nd Aug, 41+2) if nothing's happened by then, so will probably get my meeting at some point this week (although consultant's on leave this week and the anaesthetist's my dad so that'll be interesting...!)

Female gynaes aren't that common, you might be waiting a while if your hospital doesn't employ one!

hi all and thank you for the support, i went for the sweep today, i am happy that the doctor that did it for me is a female and thats her who will carry on the c/s with other female so thats very good for me, she did advice me to go for c/s is well if no progresse is made, so we have to wait for wednesday and see.
