So I'm getting ready to schedule my 2nd c section & have NO clue what to expect.. With my first one, I had been through 28 hours of hard labor and my epidural didn't work. When I finally went in for an emergency c section, they had to put me all the way under because my epidural still wasn't working and I actually could feel them cutting. I'm super nervous about this one because I know I'm going to be having a c section and won't be in labor and all. It'll all be planned out and it makes me super nervous. I don't know what to expect as far as being awake for it and the epidural or anything.. If anyone knows anythingggg at all, please fill me in
Re: Second C Section..
Good luck! I hope everything goes well!
Try not to stress! Your recovery will probably be smoother too since you won't have labored beforehand.
My first one was planned due to breech baby and I had a wonderful experience. Hoping for the same this time.
i had not planned to have a csection; however, that day it was decided to have a csection. i was told in about three hours we would have the baby, we had him in less than an hour due to everything moving so quickly. blood work, signing releases and giving consent, getting iv's. my husband almost did not have time to run to the car to get the camera, or to call all our family to tell them it was happening. i got wheeled to the or even though i was very much capable walking. sat up on the table for the spinal. after i was laying down and curtain up my husband came in. from there, everything moved so quickly and we were in recovery in no time where i began breastfeeding. i was able to feel my legs pretty early so we were able to go upstairs to the postpartum room. just make sure they are checking your uterus just as often as a vaginal delivery, if not more, to make sure it is contracting down otherwise some not so pleasant things can happen, like they did to me. i had the catheter inserted in the or and it was taken out in recovery. so long story short, even though it is scheduled, things can move pretty quickly and its over before you know it.
