Hoping someone has been through something similar or can just ease my anxiety around my second C section. I'm due my second child in July and will be having another elective C section, my first pregnancy was absolutely perfect and I loved my section but this pregnancy has been the complete opposite and I've got low iron and blood pressure which has made me feel really anxious about having another C section. I know it'll likely all be ok but I'm just so so anxious this time round 😭

Similar experience for me! First pregnancy was amazing, emergency section and a big blood loss but everything was fine. Second baby(third pregnancy) I could barely function, low iron and bp like yourself and I developed a heart murmur too. Ended up having another emergency section and a premature baby due to waters going early and developing an infection, they were worried baby had sepsis. Despite all the worries and baby needing oxygen for a little bit, the section was amazing. Knowing what to expect helped but I found I was up and about sooner, I honestly couldn’t fault it having a second section! My scar has healed so beautifully, and honestly if my body could handle another pregnancy I’d love another section 😅 Nerves are normal but you’re going to know when you’re having your baby and what to expect! My levels went back to normal afterwards too and I could actually stand up without almost passing out xxx

I had terrible bleeding with my first virginal birth and was worried about my c section for my second. They manage everything like this. The anesthesiologist will be right now managing all those things and making sure you're ok, anything feels weird you tell him and he'll/she'll get right on it.
Mine went fine, and I'm so thankful. Good luck with your birth and recovery xx
