About to have my first section and quite anxious

Morning all,

I am currently 37+1 days pregnant with DS2. He will be our fourth child after losing two previously - one a full term stillbirth and one to a late miscarriage.

We were meant to be induced yesterday for normal vaginal birth, however whilst on the monitor in the morning DS decided to flip around from cephalic presentation to transverse! So they couldn't do the normal induction.

I've never had a csection before and I'm lying here unable to sleep feeling pretty anxious now.

I've got to have more steroids via intramuscular injection soon which were stingy but not the end of the world. I don't feel like I'm the best with pain although I know I have no choice, I'm just letting myself get caught up in a little anxious whirlwind.

I don't have any family aside from DH who is taking care of DD (20 months) at home.

Just looking for a handhold and some positive c-section experiences. I'm dreading something going wrong Sad

Thanks everyone
