I had a planned section with my first and this one is also planned .

There have. Been so many bumps in the road to the point that today when I went for the first steroid injection (baby being born at 38 weeks + 1day) they got my steroid prescription wrong ...luckily they checked it first and got it corrected , phew !

I am now suddenly feeling so anxious and scared about this operation Confused...:

I am petrified that something will go wrong ...please reassure me it will all be fine x

It will be fine and you'll have a lovely little baby to cuddle!

if something does go wrong you have a medical team right there to keep you safe, and drugs to keep you pain free. I would much rather something go wrong in that scenario than with MW and theatres that are booked, and staff who are elsewhere and a baby half out of me. having said that nothing will go wrong...its a very ordinary operation. good luck.

I had a section with my son. I was petrified but if I was going to have another child I'd self elect without batting an eyelid. You'll be fine and it's normal to feel scared x
