Anyone had caesarean done due to an old stomach scar?

[Nina567]

I am 31 weeks pregnant and 37 years old.

I had an ovarian cyst removed in 2006 where my stomach was cut through the middle.

I was told at my last scan that i may have to have a caesarean done as the scar may rip open?

I also have not been assigned any midwife even though i keep asking as im with babylon gp the online service and i will be changing my doctors after baby comes as i find them completly useless.

Anyone had any similar problems?

I have got two scars on my stomach and I was referred to someone (can’t remember their name mind you 🤔😂) to check them as was so scared that there rip open 🙈(even thou there old) but they said they are fine, i gave birth naturally and the scars are still the same ☺️ xx

So have you not seen a consultant to.disxuss this? Would have thought it a bit odd not to discuss the options with you.

Re your GP ...( They might not be great for other reasons)... However they have nothing to do with assigning you a midwife, that would be a hospital service so you would need to speak to the hospital/community midwife service. They normally have a patienr liaison if you're not happy with things.

Hospital said we dont assign midwives thats up to to your gp

That's very odd. I have never contacted GP in 3 pregnancies booked through the midwives. I also work in a GP surgery and they midwives are a separate service. GPs are not contracted for routine ante natal care. Something doesn't sound right . Who have you been seeing for your appointments/scans? Were you not given a booklet with info, and phone numbers? Who said you needed a C section? Bit confusing

If you're not with a GP have you had any midwife care during your pregnancy or are you asking for a specific midwife to be assigned up you? I saw a community midwife during my pregnancy, but she didn't cover where I have birth so I didn't know any of my midwives during labour. I didn't see my GP at all only my midwife and sonographer.

If you're concerned about your scar then if you have a pregnancy book call the number on that and all for a call back from the midwives who can advise you.

Have you not seen a midwife at all then? How did you get a scan if you haven’t got one. Where I’m from and it is quite common everywhere a GP would have nothing to do with assigning you a midwife. I had to contact them myself. Maybe you need to ring your local hospital
