in C-sections
I am having a repeat c-section and today the doctor gave me the date of Nov 26th. I worry a bit since its only 3 days before my EDD, but I also like the idea of LO cooking as long as possible (since my hospital is 45min away I have always worried about going into labor prior and making it on time).
Its nice to have that date set. I know I can go into labor prior, but at least i know that the 26th is the furthest I will have to go. I still find myself worried about the whole process even though I went through it with my first. I guess I had no time to really dwell on it with my first since it was an emergency c-section due to a failed induction...they took me right away when DS was starting to react poorly to the induction. Now I have all this time to sit and think. Even with the worry about the whole procedure I still feel the most comfortable going this route then attempting a vbac. I had 3 docs at the practice hint that I shouldn't attempt it considering how my first pregnancy went. They are supportive and would had supported the vbac but they didn't seem overly thrilled about the idea. My LO is breach, and how she is sitting they are not really sure she will turn (although I will only be 34wks tomorrow so she has time).
I think my nerves are getting the better of me; too much time to think about it all. I should just remember that I recovered very well after my first and that was after a very stressful 36hrs of labor. I am not a stranger to this, but the idea of surgery is always going to make me worry.
