elective c-section (so nervous)

Hi all,
I am due to have an elective c-section very soon due to a horrendous birth with my daughter.
However, as the date has been getting closer I am getting myself so worked up about it all :-(
I am quite a claustrophobic person, so I’m worried about laying flat on my back & not being able to breath which I’ve heard people talk about.
I’m also worried about how long the spinal will leave my legs numb for etc, etc, etc!! I am terrified!!!
Can anyone offer me any advice on how to relax a little?
Is the not being able to breath after the spinal has been administered common?
Sorry for all the questions but I am getting myself so worked up!
Thank you xx

I promise they will. You'll be grand. And you won't even feel it when they shove pain killers up your bum because of the spinal. Helpful?😂
