Do you have a choice for elective C section at public hospital.

Make sure you repeat your request at every appointment until you have it booked in. The doctors there aren't the best at reading charts or listening to patients.

I would certainly do that but Iam having shared care with GP, so i think i will hardly have two or three Visits there.Already not impressed with their appointment system its 3rd appointment they Have altered.The receptionist at Northern hospital was the worse felt like she is about to hit me with rocks.
But the receptionists at Broadmeadows community hospital ( which is a part of Northern hospital seems very nice).
well now waiting for Sep 10!

Do you have someone who can go with you to the appointment?

No honey it would be just me going there alone.Hope i would sort out things in first appointment.but it just the bad reputation of hospital and doctors making me worry.

Would you like some company? I would have my baby with me, but can get my toddler cared for. Alternatively, i know a student midwife who may be able to come. She has attended births at the Northern before.

It could be an administrative error, the receptionist may have just opened the wrong file when she put together your appointment letter and you ended up with the VBAC standard letter instead of the CS standard letter. I would be VERY surprised if you weren't given the option of elective CS. If you don't feel comfortable waiting for the appointment to clear it up, perhaps ring again and say it appears there is an error in your records, they should say elective CS?

lovely ladies,

Today I had my first visit at last! nurse was a gem.she said the letter was a generic formate and told me it would be a C section because I already have two before.Now OB will see me after four weeks.
all of your replies put me really at ease, and my special thanks to HOTI, you are a sweet heart.thanks a lot for that offer.My hubby managed to took me today my dizzy spells are getting worse so he did feel the responsibility.

hugs to you all, u all are a big support for me.
