planned c-sections - cancellation?
This may be a stupid question, but was just wondering if you are booked for a c-section because baby is wrong way round, do they check the position again when you are admitted for the section. If baby has moved into right position, do they cancel c-section and send you home?
Think that would drive me crazy!
Thanks

My baby was breech up until 37+5, so know a bit about what would have happened if she stayed that way. They would have booked me for the c-section, but they do scan you the day before, or the morning of the op, and yes, if baby has moved, they will cancel the op.
There is a woman on 'due in feb' that this happened to a few weeks ago. Her c-section was cancelled the day before as the scan showed baby had moved during the pre op assessment!
Is your baby breech at the mo?
It is such a frustrating time as you never know what to prepare for, and can't really be 100% either way until the day of the op.

How frustrating! I was hoping that once it was booked, that was it! Silly me.

Baby has been transverse/breech until now. I see the midwife at lunch time and if still the wrong way round I expect she will send me for a scan next week.
good luck whatever happens
Am a bit concerned as at my last two MW appointments (where my MW been off sick) I have been told baby is breech, whereas it was transverse the last time I saw my MW. However, I'm convinced that baby is transverse quite alot of the time as I get kicked at both sides at once. My MIL who is a health visitor also thinks baby transverse alot of the time. I dont go back to MW till 37+1 and not sure how quickly I will get a consultant appointent. Just worried that my notes say breech, but i dont think that is accurate 90% of the time!
I guess if transverse at next appointment they may just send me straight to hospital. Will definately say something though if he/she has adopted the breech position again specially for the appointment!
Sorry to ramble - not even sure I made any sense!
