Hi ladies
I am brand new to this, not even sure if I'm using it correctly!
I have been told that my baby was measuring 9.9lb at 36 weeks so I am currently monitoring my glucose levels (which seem to be okay) it looks like I just have gigantic babies! Or the growth scan is wrong.
Due to being a FTM they are advising a C-section, I am petrified of the thought, all I have done is cry, it keeps me up at night. I really wanted to birth vaginally and I'm failing to come to terms with reality.
I'm scared of needles, I'm scared of being awake throughout major surgery, I'm scared of the shakes, I'm scared of not being able to look after my baby properly while I recover (dad isn't allowed to stay in the hospital due to covid) I'm scared of recovering in general, I'm scared the spinal will cause some kind of long lasting damage. I'm also scared that I may have to have steroid injections for babies lungs and they will be painful.
I don't know how to get over this fear, it's literally ruining the final weeks of my pregnancy and really getting me down.
Does anyone have any advice? Experience? And do steroid injections hurt? Do you have to have them at this stage? Where do they inject them?
