same here, just thinking about what a c section is all about.. but I might be working myself up too

well I mean it's a major surgery which can cause excessive bleeding, infection and pain. I'd rather do vaginal

here's what usually happens. you get to the hospital about 3 hours before they actually do the surgery. They monitor you and baby during that 3 hours. They take blood and start your IV. They wheel you to the OR and do your spinal block. You start getting numb all over. I always have a hard time breathing so they give me oxygen. I always talk to the anesthesiologist and my husband for a while until I hear the baby crying. After that every fear just melts away. If you have a C-Section it's only scary for a short few hours. you will be fine though.😀

don't they give you strong meds for it???

the actual procedure really didnt bug me..i was in the o.r maybe an hour and my son was born. the harder part is the recovery, its a major surgery so you will have to take it easy as it will be a few weeks till you feel somewhat normal again.

well I don't know if I will have one but I am just wondering the ins and outs of a c section

I was scared right before both of mine. I always get nauseated right after the spinal block starts kicking in. I probably will be scared before this C-Section also.

Being your first time yes, because you really don't know what to expect or feel. But it's quicker and you can see baby faster .
