You are in great hands, and you’ll be okay! (This is not me minimizing or mocking what you said).
I’ve had 3 c-sections. I’ve been terrified, every single one. I had to trust i was in fact, in great hands the first time. My partner (and father of our children) was not allowed in the OR the first time, due to Covid restrictions and whatnot.
I promise, everything will be okay. 🩶 and if you wanna chat before or after, i can be around if you need that space.

i had an emergency c section, never have had surgery before, was the actual single most terrifying moment of my life. that was 14 months ago!! my daughter and i are healthy and happy :) you truly are in great hands!! they do this procedure like 4-6 times a day (as i’m sure you know). this is as routine as brushing their teeth!! i always told myself “don’t worry until the nurse/doctor is worried”. sending you strength and good vibes!! hoping you have a positive experience and a healthy delivery :)
