Yes it's completely normal to be scared shitless. my c section was planned & I didn't freak out until they day of. I had 3 panic attacks, one while I was on the operating table. but after I heard my son's first cry I was crying tears of joy & the rest didn't matter. I was sore for almost a month but it was okay & totally worth it.
After giving birth the normal way I really hope they'll let me have a c section! I don't want another baby coming out of the play dough fun factory of life.
I had to have an emergency c section with my first and I was just shocked didn't really have time to think about it. It really wasn't that bad either but now with my second I have to have a planned c section and just going in their knowing I'm going to be cut open just scares me so bad especially with a different doctor doing it but I know in the back of my mind I'll be alright. It is painful for a couple weeks after but after seeing your baby you know it's worth it.
