C-Section Tomorrow. Nerves

Hi! I had a planned section on 13/08. It was fine. The worst parts were the cannula and the epidural but honestly once those were sorted and I was ready those parts sort of faded away for me. Baby girl arrived very quickly once I was good to go (5-10 minutes) and was placed on me for some skin to skin. I’m now up and about as normal and recovery has been smooth!

I had a planned section on the 20th and it was such a positive experience and I’m so glad I chose an elective over a VBAC. I was worried about the cannula too as my veins are really difficult I had a chat with the anaesthetist before we went in and she gave me some local anaesthetic before she put it in and it really helped. The spinal I didn’t feel at all as you have some local given prior to this too. We had music on and the staff were great too. I’m up and about now just making sure I don’t over do it and stay on top of pain relief. Hope it goes well! X

I had a planned c section booked but it turned emergency yesterday as baby boy arrived early.
I was very nervous about the cannula , I told them this and they put numbing cream on which helped
The spinal hurt in places but just take deep breaths in and out and you'll be fine!

I had my elective section on 21st and honestly I couldn’t of paid for a better experience. Personally I felt no pain with the epidural or the cannula and it’s done very quickly. The whole process is so fast, before you know it you have your baby in your arms x

My c section is on Thursday and I’m just worried that if the spinal goes in too high I won’t be able to feel myself breathing. That’s my biggest worry before anything else.
