I'm just wondering if any other moms that are scheduled to have a second csection or already have do you have any worries about it. Do you worry about something going wrong and the possibility of leaving behind your children?
This will be my 3rd c-section. I always have worries, it's normal. I didn't make it to my second c-section date. My water broke at 36 weeks and I was totally not ready but everything worked out in the end. My 21 month old at the time was fine and couldn't see me for 4 days and was fine.
This will be my second, and I'm getting my tubes tied as well. I'm bummed that I won't be able to see my son for a few days, but I'm not really worried about it. The first was an emergency, so it was a scary and stressful situation. This one is planned because I'm not a VBAC candidate, so I feel a lot more in control of the situation.

I am nervous for my repeat c-section. I will also be having my tube tied during the procedure. I think fear is normal after all it is major surgery. My first was an emergency and things definitely went a little haywire so hopefully this planned one will go smoothly. But all I can do is wait and hope for the best, I'm not a candidate for a vbac either. Just stay positive!
Second for me. I am nervous about walking into surgery. I m sure I will have anxiety the week beforehand. My mom is flying out and so I know my other 2 kids will be in good hands. I am also getting tubes tied during the surgery. I am just hoping since this isn't an emergency csection it will go really smooth.
Wow look at all of us... Second csection here too and also getting tubes done. I'm more anxious about leaving my son or him feeling replaced than the surgery as of right now.
Third CS here and also getting tubes tied. Like many have said before me it's normal to worry. When you say "leave behind" are you referring to dying or just the thought of not being there for your LO(s) since it is a major surg with recover time?
Also nervous for csection #2, though we haven't fully planned it at this point. I get really nervous about complications, and sad about leaving DD for so long. We're hoping for 1-2 more after this, so having too much scar tissue is also something i think a lot about. I'm not sure if ignoring it is the best way to handle it, but worrying about it only gets me worked up. It's kind of nice seeing everyone's in the same boat!
This will be my third CS and I'm Getting my tubes tied as well. My second was planned and it went smoothly so I'm thinking this will go the same way. (Maybe that's just what is making me feel better. I know it can be a totally different experience than before.)
I don't worry about leaving my two older sons. They will be home with my aunt the first night my hubby and I are in the hospital and then the next two nights my hubby will be home with them and will bring them once everyday to visit.
This will be my second c section, but first one scheduled. I'm actually relieved to have a birth plan at all, and not have an emergency to deal with (that I know of yet). The doctor keeps asking me if I want a tubal ligation, but for me, I am not sure I'm there yet. DH says we are done, but if this pregnancy continues to go without incident, I would not be opposed to a 4th child. He says I'm crazy. Now I'm not yet to 28 weeks, I may reconsider in 10 more weeks.
ETA: I'm not worried about leaving my children. I guess I haven't considered something disastrous happening. DD was born during H1N1, and DS couldn't come to the hospital to visit, and we all did just fine. I just hope they can come meet the baby at the hospital before we come home.
Our family is growing by two feet and we couldn't be happier!
I am having 3rd csection and I fear dieing all the time...I think it is natural as it is major surgery. However, odds are in your favor that you will be just fine! Best of luck!
A part of me is nerves because I will be in surgery and the fear of something going wrong and me leaving like dying and leaving my children here motherless.
