i m getting even closer to my c-section date, and I'm so nervous about it. Being cut open really scares me. I know it's…

@ftmommieoftwiinz, I was pretty nervous with my first born, but also in so much pain from contractions. I was so exhausted, I just wanted him out. I think every labor, is pretty nerve racking for everyone. I had to tell myself every woman goes through this. It's normal. the babies gotta come out at some point and everything will be perfectly fine. after having my son, I felt so relaxed. I was able to rest and hold my baby. Everyone took care of me and I didn't have to do much of anything but take care of my baby, eat and shower. I finally felt like my body could rest.

lol yes..I'm excited..since these are my first for everything I'm more nervous than anything..

@ftmommieoftwiinz, thank you. the c-section is definitely planned. but with twins you never know if they want to come. Two weeks away. just right around the corner. but I'm sure your ready.

honestly I was too.. but I've been getting advice from ppl that have done it before whether its scheduled or emergency.. which I was told a scheduled c section was way better. everyone told me to make sure I get up and walk as soon as they let you..and to stay on top of your meds..and when you get out to make sure you take it easy and get a binder..I guess to help with the incision. don't worry. you'll do great. mine is in about 2 weeks for my twins.

@sarahemccormick, thank you . I'm happy to know everything will be fine and that'll I'll be able to breastfeed. it's definitely scary. but of course anything is worth it for our babies. I know my body will heal in time. I was wanting to buy a support belt online as well. Is there any you recommend?

@rhia, yea, thats what my friend was telling me. to make sure I walk as much as possible. I'm already a very active person. so sitting down too long would drive me crazy. I just figured if I'm up moving around too much I might rip the stitches.

I had a csection almost 3 months ago, and just like you, I was very scared of surgery. For me, it was an emergency section so I didn't have time to mentally prepare myself. I had a full bliwn.panic attack as I was being cut open in the OR. They had to medicate me because I was freaking out so bad. The pain was horrendous during the healing process. It was the worst experience ever. But you know what? I would do it all over again for my baby because he was worth every ounce of pain, every scared moment and every year I shed. I promise you will be okay. The best tip I can give you is to get up the next morning and walk as much as possible. Allow yourself time to rest but walk as much as possible. Sitting down and standing up are gonna hurt - bad. ask for a belly wrap in the hospital. They put compression on the wound. They help tremendously!!! I was walking myself from the 2nd floor where my room was, to the 3rd floor here my baby was in the NICU multiple times every day. Wearing that support band helped a lot. Also, I have had no problems exclusively breastfeeding my son.

I kust had a c section 2 months ago and also had one with my twins. It will be painful but to help with a faster easier recovery get up and walk whan they tell you to. When you go home make sure to move around.
