I am a high risk pregnancy due to my first child born premature at 36 weeks due to FD, and also due to previous pre eclampsia with my 2nd born, (which went undetected for 5 weeks!) and caused my placenta to erupt. She was delivered at 32 weeks.
as you can imagen this time around I am very anxious to carry and deliver my child safely. I have opt for an elective c section to which I was supposed to be booked when I attended my 34 week growth scan on 25/10/2017. Arriving at my appoiment and discussing all the information with my consultant they filled out the nessercery forms and told me to book my date for 39 weeks at the reception, arriving at the reception the clerk was very rude and abrupt with booking my appoiment and told me due to a backlog I will be telephoned with an available date, this caused me distress as I was told I would have notice to sort child care for my other children and so on, I will be 39 weeks pregnant in 3 weeks and do not have another appoiment scheduled until my CS, I am growing more and more concerned that I’m not going to recive my date until last minute or worst case that I will go into labour before hand which will not be safe for neither me or my unborn child. I give my highest praises to doctors midwifes consultnents etc but to be in limbo for my c section date is outrageous.
