Due to go to criminal law trial the same time as my partner is due for her baby. Can the case be postponed?

Just need to clarify:
  1. Which court is it?
  2. What is the offence that you're charged with?

Just need to clarify:
  1. Which court is it?
  2. What is the offence that you're charged with?
...and are there any conditions on your bail?
...and is the date of birth already set (eg if it's to be induced or will be surgical),
or are you waiting on "some time around X date"?
