Yeah that's what I was thinking but then didn't know if I was just being overly paranoid

Not an option unfortunately, wanted to do the free swimming which is in the next town over so would be rush hour and take forever.

I'll see if one of my mates could have him and then I'll return the favour.

I could prob have him at MILs (she would be at work) if that's not a bit weird :undecided I won't be offended if you don't trust me!

Not a particularly nice topic of conversation for this time of the day, but I had this during my c-section, and oramorph for 48 hours after and I was able to BF straight away. My pain relief in hospital was great, I was in very little discomfort (sorry SS) and up on my feet the same day. I'm relieved to think I have the option of a planned c-section, but not sure I'll have one, IYKWIM. My current thinking is that if I go before 40 weeks I would try for a VBAC since that would be very different from my induction at 42wks last time, but if I get to 40wks with no baby, then I would have a planned c-section rather than play the induction waiting game again. I have no idea whether a consultant would agree to that though .

GISI - You may have to make your choice at 36 week appointment. If you choose the elective they will then give you a date for section at 38 - 39 weeks. They won't let you go to 40 weeks. But that said if you went into spontaneous labour before the given elective date, (as i did) they will again give you the option to go for an urgent section or VBAC. I suppose if when the elective date came round you could then change your mind again and say you want to wait and try a VBAC, because no one can make you have the section.

I know when I saw my consultant at 36 weeks she was happy to let me go the VBAC route if I wanted and didnt want to do anything other than natural if she could, she preferred this... I was due to see her on the Tuesday bfe DD to discuss further and then William appeared the Sunday before !!!

does anyone know why 'they' do elective c/s 'early'?
I would think (as a random not medically trained person) that it was best to do it as close to due date as poss?

I just think that is so that you don't go into labour. But could be wrong. But obviously no one told Alex this and the impatient booger decided he wanted out anyway.

thats what I assumed, I wonder though if they left it until closer to DD how many women would go into labour before hand (and perhaps more important to 'them' at an inconvenient time aka out of office hours)

been to nursery and it was fab!! its been purposely built as a nursery so is very well laid out and all on the level as well. was spotlessly clean. Kian stayed with one of the workers while i was shown around and he seemed to enjoy it and certainly didnt miss me for the 20mins or so i wasnt there. deposit is £150 and then its £36 per day. dont charge for bank holiday mondays or thr week they are shut over xmas so not too bad. so we would save a bit of money if i worked on a monday!! lol!!
have put an ad on net mums to see if there is any childminders nearer to us that i havent seen. one lady has relplied and said ahe might be able to do a pick up/drop of with K but she is charging £30 a day and might want more for the extra duties.

need to check out the other 2 nurseries as well. but i do like this one...if they opened to 6.30pm it would be perfect but the others do so need to check them out.

It is a planned surgery first and foremost though*. It obviously isn't in the best interest of anyway to wait until middle of the night rushing about and stuff. And sitting worrying if tonight will be the night and not eating incase you have an anesthetic (sp), its bad enough waiting to go into 'normal' labour let alone knowing your going to be sliced and diced :eek: without an appointment.

I don't think many people would want to take the chance of going to 40 wks then being booked in, I know I wouldn't , I'd be quite happy to go at 38 wks :cool: (42 wk pregnancy is soooo overrated )

* ETA: As in needing use of an operating threatre rather than a labour ward
