I met the specialist obstetrician today who is going to be doing my caesarian and he is VERY nice and listened to everything I had to say and didn't have an arrogent bone in his body (which I was kind of concerned about being a specialist and all).

I am booked in on the 25th of Sept, so if I don't go into labour before then that is Matilda's birthday.

Apparently they are quite mindful of patients wants/needs there (like most of Australian hospitals) so I actually have the anethatists mobile number to meet her and be able to make my requests known - (such as I do not want to be on an epidural all night, that is so OTT, it really doesn't hurt THAT much, it's more of a tight/stiff feeling than pain)

I basically told the obstetrician I want to be up and out of bed the next morning. Last time they made me lay in bed until 10am and I was sooooooo swallowing razors to get up.

YAY... that has taken one of my main concerns away (what kind of person would be delivering the baby).

September 25th. I won't forget and will be praying. Though not going to be on here much after today, I will check in for sure to see how things went. Love in Christ.

That's great that you met him and really feel comfortable with him. I'll be praying. Stephanie :D

Glad you got a good one.

That's great!

The Specialist I see tomorrow is the same one who dealt with me last time. He is nice but we had a problem because he booked me in at the hospital on the wrong day. He booked me for Monday night and told me Tuesday night and that was the date he wrote in my book. Anyway, I got a call from my midwife on the Monday night saying "you didn't turn up". I was soooo upset. She told me I'd have to wait until the Wednesday now. And I was like "no way". So I phoned Paul and he phoned her and told her they would be doing it on Tuesday night LOL
I'm going to be double checking the date he gives this time so the same thing doesn't happen again.
I'm also hoping he can get me in on Friday night. I don't really want to wait until Sunday night.

So glad all worked out for you! :D Will be praying for you and baby.

Thanks, I would really really appreciate prayers just due to the associated risks surgery poses.

Renee, how did your visit go to the specialist?
