if you need a c-sec...how soon were you told the date to expect it ?

[eightisseventoomany]

Saw my OB today....and she has said

its a slim chance of a natural birth...as babies lying breech (lower baby) and transverse (higher baby)

Im already nearly 33 weeks.....and babies are already huge (over 5lb each baby)

bump is a massive 50cm already !!
chance is slim that babies will present in head down pos....when I labour...as not much space to turn.

but I was told today to book another scan in another 4 weeks time...and check-up in 2 weeks time...
but OB never mentioned if or when they will book a c-section for me...

(despite saying this is prob how I will have these babies)

I'll be 37 weeks when I have this scan !!

are they leaving this a little late ?? should'nt they have discussed how far into pg they will let me go ??

really dont want this to be an emcs !!!

wondered what other ppls experience of being booked for a c-section are ??

(I have already mentioned this worry in another thread....but that thread has nothing to do with this issue....so thought Id ask as a header topic)

Just worried if I go into natural labour before I even get to see my OB !

also....have no midwife appointments at all...
only seen midwife 3 times throughout this pg

Should i be being a bit more pushy about the issue ?


or is this all normal procedure ??

Mumsylady-I know where you are at TOTALLY!!!!!!! I am older mum 36!!!! and following miscarriage too , am 36weeks with fraternal twins(I know 1 of each flavor is on its way! and they to seem huge, thank goodness , already). Am drinking , it feels, a bottle of Gaviscon a day as only way can get ANY Comfort!!!I am having last scan next week 36+4 then being booked in at 38 weeks for C Section....will let you know.
I am in East Sussex(You mentioned Camber- you brave lady ) and have been seen loads I agree with Zippys mummy - you need to get on at your consultant.Apparently you bled more after C section....I have had vaginal deliveries and bleed for England then!
Good luck....be good to hear how you get on.
Lovely ladies - Thanks for advice & experiences as I do sometimes feel I must be the only 1 going cuckoo

Jellylegs your hardly "older" mum ..hehe

Im 33...not far behind....!!
Not classing myself as older till I hit 50

Was persuaded to go to Camber by OH...who insisted he would carry & do everything....whilst I sit under huge umbrella with all my neccessities & ice-cold drinks he had pre-frozen for me

Was really hoping that the answer to the "lochia" question would be no
Darned female bodies....no escaping the rubbish stuff !! grrr

Looks like I'd best get myself some "industrial" pads then
