Sorry to sound so clueless. I did ask the midwife yesterday, but she was filing in the form ignoring me as per.
I've had a section before, it was planned but I actually ended up going into labour two weeks before the date, so obviously had no pre op.
What do they do and who will I see? No one had told me!
My appointment is for the day before my section. Is it worth dh coming with me? He is absolutely clueless (older ds is from a previous marriage) and just thinks of it a routine in and out surgery, so when I have tried to tell him what it's like he doesn't listen.
Also will I get to talk to someone about what happened with the edipidural the first time? I thought I was going to die when it was going in, lighting bolts up and down my legs, I started to black out after it was in, no one realised until I used every last ounce of energy to hit a nurse to alert them. Then they were testing if I could feel, I told then I could feel parts of my abdomen but they didn't believe me- until they started cutting and I screamed.
I really am scared now about this time round.
