Ok, so........ Placenta previa (placenta blocking cervix) so natural labour out the window. History of prem labours and his is 5th baby so section being done slighly earlier than normal. It was originally at 37+6 but I have had awful spd and had twinges ect.... been in such a state worrying about going into labour as it would really complicate things. So anyway now hey are doing it this Thursday and I will be 36+6 so practically 37 weeks.

I am officially scared stiff about everything really. What if he needs help in special care (have been there before but don't really want to do it again!) If I haemmorrage they will have to put me sleep (have managed to get them to agree to a spinal at first though)
I am so scared that if they wisk him away they will give him formula/botle (when I had my twins they bottle fed them within 5 minutes of birth and without consulting us at all )

I haven't sorted things out at home properly. Leaving so much to dh but he has the other 4 kids to look after.

I have to phone up at 7am Thursday to see what time I go in. Also panicking in case they cancel or delay it and I am getting worked up for nothing!

Sooooo worried about breasfeeding, dd4 was in special care for 3 weeks but I finally managed to fully breastfeed by the time she came home. But now I have 4 kids and will have such a hectic routine how can I just sit on my arse and feed?? Dh is home for the first 4-6 weeks but what then??

I know I am just panicking and wanted to offload!
Sorry for rambling

It's OK lulumama... I knew I was going on (and on...), Felt sad that mag was so worried when my experience had been (almost exclusively) so positive. I hope today has made her change her mind and that she's happily bf-ing her baby as we speak!
