Hi ladies
Do you know what I hate the fact that Google was ever invented....just spent the last half an hour googling vomiting during c section and now I am well and truly freaked out...
I am having ELCS this time next week. Ironically it's due to severe anxiety and my emetophobia which is fear of vomiting. Now I am well educated and didn't make the decision lightly. I know that nausea and vomiting is high during the operation. But my midwife assured me that if I tell every man and his dog when I arrive for my c section about my phobia that they will prevent it by giving me anti sickness through the IV. After googling I have read vomiting is highly likely both during and after the operation.....now I am just totally freaking out about it all when I was feeling quite relaxed about it
Please can someone give me advice or reassurance. I haven't thrown up in over 20 years and have gone through my pregnancy without being ill so the thought of going through this operation is just scaring me to death at the moment xx
