C-Section booked in, need friendly advice

So on Monday I went for a growth scan, having gestation diabetes, they had already told me that they won't let me go past 39 weeks.
Had scan, bubba measuring big still but had jumped up quite a bit. Was still expecting them to say i would be induced a bit early.
HOWEVER, within 2 hours I was in hospital, on steroids and insulin and was being told I would be induced ASAP!
Then due to short staff they they changed their mind as to when a million times! I was in there for 4 days!
But only being 37 weeks they checked and said my body isn't ready for induction and she's very big for my small frame (4ft 11").
They have now booked me in for a C-Section on Thursday.
Just looking for a little advice and support as I have no idea what to expect! All happened very quickly!

Get someone to bring you fybogel and OJ.... best advice I was given. No one needs to strain after any kind of birth.... the only other lady on my nct that had a c section had to have a "manual evacuation "..... nope no one wants that...
