My C-section is scheduled for June 4th, which I am also nervous for.  It is a major surgery, but just remember doctors have been doing these for years and they have gotten down to a science.

Let your nurses and anesthesiologist know you're nervous. They'll talk you through things and make small talk to keep you occupied. The procedure won't take long and just remember, pain meds are your friend! Good luck!

Mine is on Friday...  Whenever I feel nervous, which is pretty much all the time, I tell myself that c-sections are there to save lives.  They're pretty common and routine procedure for doctors.  As for recovery, don't try to be brave for no reason...  As PP said, pain meds are really your best friend!

Definitely let them know you are nervous! I was petrified but didn't have more than a few minutes before finding out I needed the csection and being wheeled into the OR.

It is scary but you will have a LO in your arms afterward which makes it worth it. Recovery is no joke. Take your pain meds and have others take care of you!

You will do great! Good luck

Good luck! My section wa scheduled for breech baby. He flipped,so I wa canceled. Then I was a week past due, he didn't drop an I didn't dilate, so we scheduled again. I had a great, easy section and recover, and will opt for a repeat section next time.

You have every right to be scared and nervous. I had a c section 15 weeks ago when we found out DS was breech. It was a surprise, we had no idea. I was scared out of my mind and so was DH. It's completely normal to feel that way. It's major surgery. But as PPs said they do them all the time. You'll be in great hands. I kept reminding myself all that mattered was DS being safe and healthy. That helped calm me down and get me through things. And remember, in the end you'll be holding your precious little one and it'll all be worth it. Hang in there. Recovery isn't easy but loving on that baby will help tremendously.

I hope everything turns around for you also. I'm a nervous wreck when comes down to hospital stuff as well, but with all my c sections I have found that positivity is the key. If you look for things to go wrong, they can do nothing but go wrong. Be positive and ask for support from the nurses, but I hope you won't have to go through it.
