Another repeat CS question

jazzyexpo · December 2013

Anyone more nervous or scared of a second one? My first one went great, dd was breech, so it was scheduled. I just feel because that one went so smoothly and healing was easy, that it can't be as easy this time or something is just going to go wrong. It has me scared. Anyone else or do I just have a crazy brain?

I'm way more nervous. After two natural, uncomplicated deliveries my third was a CS. This time knowing what I'm in for is making me nervous since I know how much it hurts.

This is my 4th and I am more terrified about this one then any of the others. It seems each recovery has been worse then the one before, I'm not looking forward to that pain again. You would think it would be the opposite since I know what to expect but no I'm scared!

I am! I had a CS with my first bc he was so preemie and I was sick and I am so nervous about this one. I guess I didn't have time to be nervous last time bc it was sprung on me and a surprise that I was delivering at 29 weeks. It's the thought of getting cut open again and knowing how bad it hurt to move the next few days.

I'm nervous because I have time to dwell on getting the spinal. With my first, I had no idea what to expect.

I had a great experience with my first and I'm a little nervous it can't go that smoothly again. I can't take pain meds, so nothing but the actual spinal (without morphine) and the ibuprofen. What REALLY has me nervous is coming home and having a newborn and a very rambunctious 17mo old to care for while I'm healing. DD is already almost 30lbs, so no picking her up for 6-ish weeks. That's going to be really hard--logistically and emotionally!

I'm feeling pretty good about it. With my first having a c/s was the last thing I wanted, and was quite disappointing to end up with that after 36 hours of labor and 1 1/2 of pushing. So in that way, I'm way more emotionally prepared for this one. My physical recovery was pretty easy, so I'm hoping it will just be similar, maybe even better since I won't be so exhausted from also recovering from that hard labor.

Glad I'm not the only one

I never thought about it, but you're right. This time I have the whole pregnancy to think about it whereas last time I had 4 days. That makes sense.
I'm already cringing at the spinal. He missed last time, the first time, and I still remeber that pain. Worst part of it all for me.

@vineyardmel
I'm with ya there! Dd is 35lbs and can't pick her up for awhile. Not to mention, she's not an independent player. Hoping that changes though.

I hope everyone's cs goes smoothly!

I'm nervous too. Last time, I was in labor for 15 hours beforehand and had an infection and a fever and my blood pressure had dropped, so when the c/s was recommended I was halfway out of it and didn't really care what they did to me. My recovery wasn't bad, and I took only Motrin as well. But this time I know it's coming and I'm definitely trying not to think too much about it. I know complications are rare, but it's still scary to think about.

I'm freaking out, over the actual process not the recovery. I was so woozy and nauseous. Wait, I lie. I guess the giant gas pain in my neck that had me actually screaming my second night in the hospital. Well, it all sorta sucks ass.

I just wish a baby would magically appear in my lap, with my mascara carefully applied and my hair coiffed.

Ahhhh, pause for pictures!
