  I had those same feelings.  DD was born a week ago and the whole experience was great this time.  DS was an emergency c and the two were nowhere close to comparable.  It was so relaxed, and aside from the vomiting almost immediately from the anestesia, it was a piece of cake.  As soon as I got the vomiting out of the way, I felt great and was even joking around.  Recovery has been much easier too.

  I felt the same way, but everything went smoothly and taking care of both LOs has been a little difficult but manageable.

  I am nervous too, mine is Thursday. But I had a really good experience with my first one, so I have no real reason to be nervous. It's just scary, and being awake while I know in the back of my head what's going on...ugh. I made a point with my first surgery to make sure they didn't tell me when they started, and I will definitely make that request again. I think because I have DS now, and I know it's going to be a lot more work this time around. Recovery went really well for me last time, so that's reassuring.

  I'm nervous about what a nightmare my body is going to look like, and getting that back. I'm going to have 60 lbs to lose (I got pregnant the second time about 15-20 lbs more higher than I would have liked), and that's a lot.

  Thank you for all your positive feedback. I also had a great experience for my first c-section so I'm not sure why all the nerves!  I think part of it is a little bit of anger that I can have a vaginal birth... but all I want is a healthy baby!

  3/5 is my bday!

  I had a c/s with my first DD and it went very smoothly. Recovery was pretty good, especially since I made myself get up and about as soon as I was given the okay.

  Despite all of that, I'm still really nervous to have an RCS. Maybe because I know what to expect? IDK, but I'm sure it will be great. I'm just excited to meet my little love bug/

  They haven't scheduled mine yet but it'll probably be around 2/20ish. I'm already thinking about it non stop. Last time they had to knock me out which sucked in numerous ways but at least I wasn't awake to think about them cutting stuff. This time I'm hoping for the spinal to work and to be around for the birth. That's my main anxiety...being awake for such a major surgery. Also freaking out a bit about the pain afterwords and caring for two kids while recovering. I'm sure it'll all be fine and probably way easier than I imagine but just knowing exactly what and when is happening is scary. Hoping things go great for all of us this time Just have to suck it up and be brave.
