Elective section on Wednesday, scared! Help

[Mumofoneandanotherontheway]

I’m going in for elective on Wednesday & ive been really anxious today. I’m totally shitting myself tbh. I had a EMCS in 2015 which I ended up with wound infection. I’m more worried I’m not going to make it out alive! How to I stop thinking so negative? I’m thinking all sorts (how will my toddler cope without me, will he miss me, who will cook his favourite meals) I’m so so scared

I had an elective after emcs and my experience was so good.
Everything was done calmly. The team were brilliant and talked me through every step. They joked at times and it was an amazing experience.
Your toddler will be fine. What arrangements have you made? Perhaps you could cook his favourite meal before you’re due in hospital.

I had a planned c section and it was lovely! The doctors/ nurses /consultant were really chatty (but professional!). It actually felt like a calm experience. Mind you, most of the negatives with c section seem to relate to emergency c sections..... so you'll be fine!

Thank you for the positive replies ladies. Hoping I stop feeling like this. Going to keep myself busy for the next two days and hopefully won’t keep thinking negative xx
