Private c-section - Any idea how much?
Hi everyone,
I'm so desperate now. Midwife came over today to do a sweep but couldn't as cervix still closed and far back.
They thought baby was 3/5 engaged but turns out it is completely unengaged and is likely to be because she is so big.
I have an induction booked for Friday 7th when i'll be 14 days over but sounds like it'll end in a c-section. They say that they'll try induction for 48 hours then do c-section. But because that falls on Sunday they'll give me the 'day off!' (staying in hospital though) and do it on Monday 10th. Turns out this is because of staff levels and they think its better to do it on a week day unless baby is in distress.
I'm furious and so sick of all this now!
Does anyone know if you can pay for a private c-section which means they'll do it sooner and not mess around with all the stress and drugs od induction?
I've tried googling it but can't find much info. I need to know where to look and also how much if any of you know?!
Thank you so much and sorry for the rant!
