I go in next wednesday for my second ELCS (medical reasons), i have had two natural births prior to my previous section.
The nerves have kicked in, i think experiencing the last one as planned helped as it was relaxed but i did lose more blood than my naturals and am now panicking about that.
I have steroid injections tomorrow & friday as he will be born at 38+1 (again medical reasons, am thrilled to even reach this point as have had placenta problems).
Will have my pre-op on tuesday then in wednesday morning to meet our beautiful boy.
I am also having a tubal ligation during the procedure so i think this is why my nerves are more prominent as its an added element (although I'm happy with this procedure as this is baby #4. My husband and i know our family is complete)
Has anyone any experience of this added element to a planned c-section & did it impact your recovery pain wise? I intend to breastfeed so pain relief options will be limited but at my last one i was only given 1 paracetamol after the birth so intend to take my own.
I just want to be prepared as i struggled with the pain last time.
Thanks for reading!
