all of a sudden last ngith i was talking to h2b about the birth of our dc2 and he was on about the c section and he was blasa about it which irked me slightly but i have been thinking today (not a good idea) and i cant believe how terrified i am of it i had a c section b4 but emcs and hubby and mum were there with me when i had epidural but it was the thought of the walk down to theatre then leaving my h2b who is my rock in another room as i have my biggest phobia done to me! im nearly in tears thinking about it now. i think im ok witht the c section as i ahve no other choice really baby is breach and low lying placenta but im absolutly sc\red stiff and more likely to waddle quickly in opposite direction than to operating theatre! im fed up with being pregnant and want3 it over but its the whole idea od the spinal and me being on my own that brings me to panic stations i think i might have a panic attack whilst they do it! or cry!

Why are you on your own? Can you not arrange to have someone with you?

Why won't your partner be with you? My DH was with me during both of my ELCS.

An ELCS is very different to an EMCS. You won't have any pain and it's very quick. The toughest bit is recovery but it's made easier by the fact you'll have your baby in your arms.

BTW I had an epi/spinal first time and a spinal last time, the spinal was much easier to recover from.

My dh didn't leavemy side during my last elcs, except for two mins pre-op to put scrubs on.

I was told he wasn't allowed tobe in with me whilst they did spinal block which is the part I'm most worried about apparently hospital policy that's the part I'm most worried about I have a blood disorder and they will have general anethstic on stand by in case I start to bleed uncontrolably I was up and around after 4 hours after ds midwife told me I was mad but felt fine and I needed a number 2, her words were but u can't yet u musnt I said i need to so I'm going.but that was with an epidural never had spinal b4
