Any last minute tips for days before c section?

[farmertom]

Hi, I am having my first section on Friday (natural birth last time with many complications).
I'm pretty nervous and have been fed all the usual horror stories. Even a few days ago got a family member telling me how dangerous they are for me and baby (thanks very much, it's not my choice!).

Anyway, any tips for the days before? I'm a bit worried about the NIL by mouth before a shot awful heartburn.
Should I drink loads of water up until I have to stop?
Literally any tips on anything appreciated

Hope everything went well OP x

Thanks so much to everyone who commented it really helped me stay calm.

Had my section on Friday and was home the day after! What a fantastic experience in comparison to my last birth.

Took all the tips (god bless peppermint tablets and peppermint tea!) and I am feeling pretty good overall.

As everyone said the theatre team were so lovely. The procedure was pain free and am managing on paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Now, to manage my crazy toddler until I'm properly back on my feet 😭😆

Congratulations!
