Repeat c-section 14yrs later!!!!

in C-sections
So I'm not much of a poster just a reader but as May is getting closer I am getting a little scared/nervous. A lil back story. I have a daughter who will be 14 in May which I had an emergency c-section with. I was only 15 when I had her and it has been so long I can't remember much about the surgery. My dr's will not allow me to attempt a VBAC so I have to have a repeat section. I am getting really nervous about the whole ordeal. With my DD my mom was there when I got my epi and with this one I know I have to go to the OR by MYSELF and have it inserted before my DH will be there with me. I had to have a kidney stone removed via surgery back in Dec and I freaked out on them while they were trying to put me to sleep so I am afraid I will do the same during the epi. I am sure my nerves are just getting the best of me but this whole epi thing really has me scared and nervous about my section. Any advise on how to calm down and know that it will all be ok?

    My kids are 14 years apart and I had an emergency C-Section with the first and a RCS with the second. I think DH was kicked out of the room for placement of hte epi on the first one but I don't remember very well.   Yes you do go in the operating room alone to get the spinal or epi placed- everyone was so very calming when I had mine done.  I had a nurse right there talking me through everything.  As soon as they got it placed and got me laid down DH was bought in - we were maybe apart for 10 minutes.  You do not want him in there seeing it and passing out on you.

    Hopefully everyone else's experiences will help calm you as well.

    I was wheeled into the OR and DH was left in our room.  I got the spinal, with a nurse holding my hand (and arm and back - I am also a nervous nelly) and then once I was laying down and they were able to confirm that I was numb, they brought in DH. 

    It was nice to have that nurse there, I think that she was more comforting than DH would have been and it really wasn't that bad.  I get really nervous before anything that involves a needle and this part of the csection was the easiest thing.  

     

    GL, you will be fine!
