Hi there,

I'm not sure of what the protocols are but I'm sure if you know you must have a C/S that they would prefer that you don't go into labour. My story is, I wanted to have a C/S but...... at 35w1d I went into labour. I didn't even know I was in labour. After experiencing discomfort for a couple of hours I went to hosp only to discover that not only was I in labour but that they could see DS's head! I asked for (demanded) my C/S but it was impossible and infact dangerous at that point to do it. No pain relief possible either (that was ok though cos I didn't need it anyway). My story is unusual but it does happen.

If this happened to you it could mean that a dangerous situation for you and/or bub could arise. I think ask your OB and if they're ok with it then go for it. But trust me, if you don't experience labour you're missing nothing
