I felt the exact same way the more I thought about the section I was terrified but it was totally fine, I would do it again if I had another baby 100%! It’s over so quickly and the staff are so good at what they do they are so calm and reassuring xx

youre going to have the best day ever tomorrow! nerves are normal! this is your last day of no baby so do some things just for you that you enjoy!

I'm two weeks away from mine and I'm also nervous. But I thin it's completely normal since we are going through a major life change. Pat yourself in the back for having come this far!!! Feeling nervous is a sign that you are excited for what's to come! Good luck mama

I had an emergency csection 6 weeks ago with my first baby and it was absolutely fine, it's normal to be nervous but really the staff will look after you and you'll be meeting your baby so soon 😊. I actually enjoyed my c section in the end, the failed induction prior to it I did not 😂. X

i had an emergency section and it was totally fine i was so scared of a c-section. if you’re worried about the spinal at all, i found an antisickness injection more painful than the spinal!
also my biggest bit of advice after a c-section wether you’re breastfeeding or bottle feeding a breastfeeding pillow is a must after a c-section if you don’t already have one. my tummy is still tender 4 weeks postpartum to touch and it keeps baby off my tummy whilst holding her
good luck! xx

I found my c section went so quick - before I knew it he was out and in my arms! And once they're in your arms you just forget all the fear (or at least I did!) x

Just had mine three weeks ago. And all I can say is feel all the feelings you have. Each of them are valid. Voice any concerns you have. Don’t stay quiet. If you need something say it. You can do this momma! Sending love and positive vibes. Goodluck
ps ask for a binder or get some sort of support shorts to travel home in.. that really helped me feel more comfy

The theatre staff are so lovely, calm, reassuring and professional. Even have a good sense of humor! Just listen to what they say as will help you stay calm and enjoy seeing your baby for the first time. Xx

Genuinely I felt the same about mine last week but honestly it was so much better than I expected! An elective is very relaxed and the recovery has been smoother than I expected!

Praying for a speedy recovery hunn and your gonna be fine
I was alone when I got mine but I had a good support team there with me

Thank you so much everyone!! You’ve all made me feel so much more at ease about the whole thing!! ❤️❤️ xx

My c-section was the best experience of my life and even though it was in emergency circumstances I’d do it all again in a heartbeat!! You’ll be great and recovery isn’t as bad as people try and scare you with!!
GOOD LUCK 💖💖

That’s so exciting!! Focus on getting your bag ready, how it will feel to hold your little one for the first time, and all the positive changes coming your way. I had an amazing c section experience and it was the most Stress free/ happiest moment of my life. Wish you a smooth recovery! It all goes by so fast

I have mine tomorrow as well. Hope you get on great. I don't know what to do with myself. I've made muffins lol. So scared but these comments from the lovely ladies is so helpful isn't it. I was really upset lady night as I didn't want today "day before" to come but I think we will wonder how we thought this after. We can do this. We are stronger than we probably give ourselves credit for. Will be thinking of you. Positive vibes to you xxx

thank you so much!! It’ll all be done and over with before we know it! I was thinking weeks ago god I have ages and now it’s literally tomorrow!!! Ahhhh, it’s gone so bloody fast!! I hope yours goes well and I’ll be thinking of you too! Keep me posted on how you’re doing!!❤️ xx

Good luck girls please let me know how you get on I'm hoping for a elective c section 2nd time around still nervous and my first c section with twins was amazing x
