Im due to have my 2nd by elected csection on the 13th april too 😊 this is my first section delivery, ive been told elected sections are really calming and straightforward as they arent rushing against the clock x

Just had my second section this one was elective rather than the first one being emergency, I felt the exact same I was so scared and nervous about it, but this time was absolutely brilliant, was calm at my pace and so supportive by hospital staff was easy best decision I made

I was in the same boat, my elective was so relaxed compared to my emergency one. Everyone comes to talk to you before hand so you can ask them questions and know what’ll happen once in the room! I’d happily have 10 thousand more electives! Good luck girly!♥️

I’ve had 2 planned and they were by far the best experience! Better than my first unplanned/non-emergency c-section.
So much more relaxed. My husband was able to be in the OR for my planned c-sections, unlike my first one - he wasn’t allowed.
My 3rd one (Feb. 23rd), was the best one. I knew what to expect. I was still anxious. But my nursing staff and OB were the best. They all calmed my nerves. Talked me down and through it. I wasn’t new to the experience, it was just different this time - we had 2 other littles at home, instead of 1. My world was changing (as much as theirs was too).
