Terrified for third c- section tomorrow!

[nervouss]

Hi all, I have my third and final c section tomorrow and I've suddenly become very tearful and anxious at what could go wrong!

My first was an emergency c section after an unsuccessful induction which i barely remember a thing about. My second was an elective and besides some minor blood loss was an absolute breeze and a positive experience.

I haven't had any bad thoughts and up until today I've been really excited about meeting my baby soon. However, since my other children left to go have a fun filled sleepover with their grandparents I haven't been able to stop the intrusive thoughts.

Of course, I always knew the risks involved with having a third, but anyone have any words of reassurance that could ease my mind and calm me down! 😂🤦‍♀️

It will be fine. My midwife had had four cs! Cs are bread and butter to the staff. And they will be keeping an extra special eye on you. Hugs though. I don’t imagine you will get much sleep tonight!

For my first, I had an emergency section after a failed induction and it was hell on earth.

For my second, I had a planned section which was a breeze with minor blood loss.
You are safe, it is planned, they will ask you how you're feeling, they'll know the history of the previous c-sections. You are not on your own. There will be lots of people in the room paid to be there to react to how you're feeling and to look after you.

What sort of things are worrying you the most? Would it help to write them down here?

Hope all went well today, and you're enjoying new baby snuggles.

Hi all, thank you for you responses, wish I had seen them sooner 🤣

Baby girl arrived safely this morning and as soon as i got my spinal I felt absolutely free of worries. She's my smallest baby weighing 7lb 1oz compared to her almost 9lb brothers 🩷

Congratulations! Welcome to the world, lovely girl.

Aw congratulations! I thought about you the last few days. Glad it went wel. 🙂
