Just at hospital waiting for my section! There were a bunch of emergencies today so it’s been delayed and I’m not even sure it’ll happen today now.
I want to get it over with but I’m also really nervous.
I have autism and I’m so squeamish and don’t always cope with this sort of thing very well.
I had a natural birth with DD a couple years ago, but had a bleed due to retained placenta so a section seemed safer this time. I keep remembering how horrible it was when they were trying to put the cannula in - they had to try about 8 times because my veins kept collapsing. Then for the epidural they had to keep giving me numbing shots because I could feel it every time they tried to put the line into my spine.
I’m just not sure what to expect this time. They’re moving us to the gynae theatre to try to fit us in today and I’m not sure it’ll be fully equipped or have the same staff. I’m meant to have gas and air to keep me calm but I’m not sure I will be able to. I don’t want to start bleeding out again!
