Hi there

booked for a section tomorrow, to be there at 11am as I have an afternoon slot.
im so nervous! About the spinal in particular I think but also about not getting taken (which I understand!)
I believe my hospital has an elective team and an on call team for emergencies so hopefully no big delays!
eeeeeek - the nerve are starting to get to me! Not sure what I want out of this post but needed somewhere to express my nerves!

@Merryclaire thanks for the tips - I’ve taken the the short acting morphine and then had the long lasting to get me thru the night. Also have peppermint tea and capsules on hand! 🤞🏻 Just need to try do my first pee! 😂 oh the glamour x

Congratulations! Did you have a feeling beforehand he was a boy? How big was he in the end? Hope you're doing better with every passing hour, and you're home soon.

@Merryclaire you lucky duck you got morphine?
I got ibuprofen (which they forgot to give to me on the second day) and paracetamol, which again they forgot to give me the second day but luckily I had packed in my hospital bag! No wonder I struggled..

@ecossegirl91 congratulations on your new arrival, hope you're enjoying your newborn bubble
