Things I didn't know that u need to be aware of

5 Replies

If u have had a previous section. .. when u have another baby. .. when u go into labour u are supposed to let the hospital know and go in. .. not wait till ur contractions are 5 minutes apart but 45 minutes apart! I think it's disgusting that they never told me this in my 2 previous pregnancies... so all u ladies that have sections hope this helps x

I have had a previous section and was never told this, mind you I had my daughter an hour and a half after my labour started so got there ASAP anyway.

I Had a section with my last and nobody has mentioned this to me, Thank you for giving the heads up!! In fact there seems to be a lot of things they are "forgetting" to mention to previous section patients.
