RCS Friday, and getting a little nervous!

maddie80

I just had my last OB appt, and I have a RCS scheduled for Friday!  (Baby is still breech, and for several other reasons, I'm not a great VBAC candidate.)

But, not to whine, I am getting kind of nervous.  Yesterday I realized I had a raging yeast infection, so I got some diflucan for that - I'm hoping it kicks in and FAST.  So uncomfortable.  Also, I'm starting to get anxious about making sure all the meds I will get at the hospital (diflucan, one more prescription) are compatible with eachother, as well as with the painkillers they give you for later, and the possible antibiotics.  (I am allergic to a ton of antibiotics, and I know there are also some that you can't take with things like diflucan.)  I don't know why I'm super paranoid that they won't check those things enough.  My last c-section, I remember being totally out of it, and the anesthesiologist kept asking me if I was "really sure I was allergic to pennicillin" and what happened if I take it.  That was not grand. I'm hoping it's not too annoying to them if I try to ask all these questions when we go into the hospital but before we're actually in surgery.  I don't want to be a control freak; I just want to feel secure.

 Other than that, I can't believe we're meeting our baby girl FRIDAY!  Sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to get all of this out where some people might understand the worries!  My DH is super supportive, but for him a done decision is done.

Good luck on Friday. I was more anxious with my 2nd c/s, but it went just as smoothly as my first with a much better outcome.

You'll have 2 hours of monitoring, fluids and prep before the actual surgery so ask away. I'm sure they'll be happy to answere all your questions and make sure everything is ok as far as the meds go. I had my rcs is november and it went great! I hope yours does too.

I had a RCS last year and in the two hours I was in the triage/prep area waiting to go in for my c-section everyone from the operating room team came in (a few at a time) to introduce themselves, go over paperwork, etc.   Both my OB & the anesthesiolgy team went over medications, allergies, concerns.  My OB verified my wish to have tubal ligation while I was in even though I had signed off a few days before and he was looking right at that paperwork, which gave me comfort that he was double/triple checking things.  I was also impressed that everyone spoke to DH and included him in things - when we had our first one 14 years before he was looked at as a necessary annoyance.

It all went so smoothly that if DH & I were younger I would have probably told him lets have another baby or two.
