I was very very scared too before my first baby went and stayed breech and I was booked in for an ELCS at 38 weeks.( it was way back last century)
As PP has said, it was actually a lovely calm experience, helped by a wonderful team.
My DH was 'my side' of the screen but stood up and watched DD's arrival, giving me a running commentary. She arrived to the sound of our choice of music. With the enthusiastic support of the anaesthetist, our baby went straight to breast after she was born.
I was made to get walking much much sooner than I believed I could manage but as another PP has said, that's all good.
I'm not sure what the current line is on driving after a c section. My doctor said I could drive 3 weeks after the birth, because I confirmed that I could do an emergency stop. I think the official line was 6 weeks, but my dear Dr said, by phone, that if she was me, she'd be going up the wall!
I'm still not entirely certain how I managed to get a vaginal infection ( I'm sure C21st hospitals are much cleaner) but sex was off the agenda for a good six months afterwards, but with a new baby, that's not unusual.
In all, the c section was much much scary in prospect than in reality.
I have to admit, I was even more scared about the VBAC I had two years later, because of all the birth stories you're exposed to, once you've had a baby.
Best of luck!
