Scared

[Lollipoppit]

Having a C-section on Friday and I'm scared about everything.
Scared something will happen to the baby before Friday.
Scared of the C-section itself. The spinal and them making sure I'm numb.
Scared of if I'll cope with having a baby in my current circumstances.
Scared I'll lose myself after only just starting to find myself before falling pregnant.

I'm dreading it all. It feels surreal. I haven't connected with this baby but still care that it's healthy. Very overwhelming.
Will it feel better when baby is here?

On Friday, you will be in the very best place for you and your baby. You’re making a great start. It’s natural to feel anxious about such a big change, but there’s a lot of exciting, positive things ahead of you. You get to meet your baby, you’re getting the best care for you both, you will find a new version of yourself as a mother. Have you mentioned your worries to your midwife? Have you written a birth plan? This isn’t a plan as such, but thinking and talking through what will hair and your preferences might help you feel more in control.

Best of luck for you and your little one
