Large family's and c sections

Hi

Just looking for similar experiences ? I am due to have an elective c section in 2 weeks and I am pretty terrified to be honest. I have had 4 natural births and my youngest 2 were delivered via c section for being breech and then also a placental abruption because of failed VBAC at my last delivery resulting in an emergency c section.

So has anyone else had a 3rd section after having a large family ? what was the recovery like ? I keep thinking because I have a large family that will mean I will have complications ? I can somewhat be rational but then panic takes over and it's the fear I feel it's awful I think a lot is down such an horrendous c section I had last time we both nearly died. I try to look past that and Focus on my first c section that was planned and amazing.

Any advice or stories would be greatly appreciated
