Tell me I'm not alone...

kaynix21 · May 2015

I am so stressed and nervous about having the C Secrion tomorrow I'm not excited.

Tomorrow is like suppose to be the happiest day ever and I'm so terrified and upset that I have to have one that I can't think about anything else.

I feel like I'm already a horrible mother.

What part are you most afraid of? Maybe we can better help you if we know that (but regardless you're not alone!)

Don't be afraid momma, it will be fast and you will be out if there in no time with lo in hand! I had mine last week after a long painful 32 hours induction. I was begging for a c section towards the end, and they decided for it when my lo's heart decelerated. I was happy they decided for a c section, and it was so fast I didn't even get the chance to be scared! And the best part was that I left that room with my baby!

You can do this girl! It takes an incredible amount of bravery to have a c section...it is scary! But your and your baby's safety is the most important thing, and if a c section is what's safe then you gotta do what you gotta do. Just keep in mind that you get to meet your little one very soon... You will be so happy then!

Why do you think you're a horrible mother, already? Is it because you're getting a C-section instead giving birth vaginally?

I'm 41 weeks and would take anything at this point to get my LO out, don't feel bad at least you will have baby in your arms tomorrow,

I feel like a horrible mom because I'm so scared that I don't feel as excited as I thought I would to meet him.

I'm never had surgery before so I'm terrified of something going wrong and of the recovery aspect. All I keep thinking is that physically I'll be miserable and I can't focus on thinking about the little person I get to meet.

Surgery can be a scary thing, don't beat yourself up about it! Once you hear that baby cry and hold him in your arms all that will melt away. Good luck to you momma ❤️

I had an unplanned C-section with my DS after a failed induction. I was really nervous about getting induced and labor in general. I couldn't progress past 7cm which was why I had a C-section. Anyway, I was so ready to be done that I didn't put as much thought into what was happening right before and during my surgery.
Like pp said, it is scary and stressful so don't be upset with yourself over these feelings. Once your baby is here and in your arms you will be fine. Also know that being a FTM is a learning experience. You're not going to be perfect but you will take care of your baby better than anyone else can.

You can't change how you feel. I was scared beforehand as well and even during the c section. But the only thing that calmed me down during the whole thing was hearing him cry and then when they let him be on my chest for 20 minutes while they worked on me.
The recovery hasn't been as bad as my expectations. It's not great but also not terrible.

Good luck and try to stay calm!
