Worry wart

Parkness2010

I am scheduled for my RCS on April 8. A long ways away. But I still can't get the fear out of my mind. My first c/s was planned as well....I had a 10 1/2 lb baby boy! So no labor to speak of. My daughter is already measuring large. I felt better about the first because I didn't know what to expect. But now that I know....I'm terrified! I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks so to think of lying on that table again.....it's scaring me to death! Of course all I can think is that something is going to go horribly wrong. I know I know....I'm sounding crazy. Any words of wisdom, encouragement or advice?

hmmm I am trying to think of the best thing to make you feel better.

For me I had complications even with my first planned section.  It was sort of scary but my Dr's took care of me.  However, it put something in the back of my head when I was having my second daughter.  I had anxiety about all of these things happening.

In the end I had to tell myself that I was going to be fine.  I had a Dr. trained what to do, my daughter was going to be fine in the care of her grandparents and I had a job to do and that was give birth to my daughter.  I focused on how wonderful it was going to be to meet my daughter.

Now I suffer from ocd/anxiety so that was not easy for me either.  For me having a plan always makes me feel better.  So I talked to my dr. about things that happened the first time that made me worry, etc. and I got a plan in my head.

Then I let it go.  I just focused on my meeting my daughter and getting her here safe.

It's going to be fine
