i seriously feel like im going to have a panic/anxiety attack when i get my c section 😭😭

@julyfourthbaby, I think I would feel similar and understand :). The idea of being cut open while awake would get to me.

@amysbabies i definitley am. Thank you!!

If you truly feel this way, can you discuss them giving you something mild for your anxiety? Before the procedure that is.

@julyfourthbaby yeah, no need to freak yourself out. My doctor stitched me from the outside and just put glue over my scar, if that makes sense. Like I don't have any viewable stitches. I promise it's not that bad. The healing is the most difficult.

@alyboo102293 oh gosh i can only imagine those 2 hours 😭and its going to go good! I cant tell you not to be nervous bc i am like asf. But you get to meet your baby!! Ill be thinking of you tomorrow😊

@julyfourthbaby, I have to be there at 930am and surgery starts at 12 which having to get fluids for 2 hours is so damn anxiety ridden 😂 I don’t even know why I’m panicking my last c section everything went so well took about 40 minutes total from the minute I walked in to being in recovery I just think about all the bad things that could happen

@jmedina thank you & no i didnt i had him vaginally

I would just not think about it or look it up. I was talking to my dr during mine, sure I was nervous but it really wasn't that bad. Did you have one with your first?

@alyboo102293 what time do you go in?

You... lol girl😬😬😬😬 ima be up all night having the worst thoughts in the world 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ I seriously keep making my stomach turn thinking about it

@zaka851 Thank god for them . 🙌

@myriahboyett710 i watched videos already 😭 and i didnt even think about the stitches. 😔 I just have veryyy bad anxiety. I just need to not think about it.

Me too! But i know it’s only scary until it begins. Then i would say- I worried for nothing, nurses doctors and anesthesiologist will make sure you’re alright, especially the anesthesiologist will always be by your side.

I agree, don't watch videos! I Just had my first emergency c-section and it's really not terrible. You just feel pressure. I was more scared of the epidural than anything. Getting little one out goes by super quick it's just when they're stitching you back up it takes a little while but you're so distracted by little one it keeps your mind occupied. You'll be fine! Just think it's only temporary and it will be over soon

@torres979216 i already watched some 😂😂😭 and thank u so much!! I know the pain wont last forever

Don't watch videos on YouTube! I think the worst part for me is just needing help with everything I wasn't able to bend so my husband had to like help me with everything, I'm not sure how this worked for everyone but a belly wrap was my best friend and I feel like it really helped with pain.... I'm sure your going to do great and everything will go awesomely!!! Best of luck to you❣

@torres979216 yes its my first. I have totally freaked myself out!!

Is this your first?

I had to have an emergency one for my first son and now will have to probably have to have one for this baby to if I don't succee with a VBAC... i totally understand what you mean the thought of getting cut while awake scares the crap out of me!!
