During my 35 and 37 weeks checkup at kkh, doc told me no c-sert till after my edd date on 9th march. I was worried too, not sure how baby is going to come out since no csert date. In the end my water bag burst on 26/2 at 38 weeks and 2 days, and they did emergency c-sert. (because baby still in breech position) Actually even though they say no slot, if really need to, they will still go ahead and do it. Advise you to stay with kkh since you already at your 36 week...baby can pop out any time soon.. if not, do make sure that you can secure a csert date with other hospital first before you transfer.

Don't need to feel bad. All mummies want the best for our babies. As long as mummy is happy and baby come out safe and healthy, that is most impt!! Wishing you a smooth delivery 😃

Many elective surgeries have been limited or postponed in light of the current COVID-19 situation. If you’re only keen for elective Caesarean section, you will probably need to go to a private gynae:) The public hospitals will still continue to do emergency Caesarean sections that are required for medical reasons.

Try Mt Alvernia. Not as crazy expensive as some private hospitals can get. I rmb paying over 10k for csec at another hospital. Considered elective coz the surgery was booked the day before but it was due to medical complications that doctor advised to opt for csec.
