C section

I’ve had two C sections due to my health condition

🟢Long story short with my 1st baby I knew at 3* months to ***prepare*** for a C section. So mentally there was no surprises for me that I was to have a C-section, I had plenty of time to educate myself on all the questions I had. I stretched daily, ate well, and exercised. I reapeatedly told me myself daily*

💕”other people’s horror story doesn’t have to be mine, I am ME, not them”

I truly went in with this mindset and was determined to stay positive!


And guess what….my water broke a week before my planned date and I still literally kept my promise to myself to remain calm and pray and tell myself

“Women have been having babies for thousands of years! You are going to be ok!” Lol

I calmly went and showered, shaved, and took some deep breath’s and we headed to the hospital

🔵Then my second I went in with the actual planned date and again I had two wonderful delivery and great healthy recoveries.💕

Just as a devils advocate type of thing as I didn’t have a c-section, I did a natural birth and I was unwell at the start of active labour so I don’t think you can say for sure either way.
I also have emetophobia and was really paranoid about it beforehand, however I can honestly say, at the time, it felt very much like I didn’t care! The contractions took over and that’s all I could really think about. I was ill once on the way to the hospital (so make sure you have supplies to deal with that if you make your own way there) then again when I started on the gas and air in the hospital. Once they moved me to the labour ward I asked for anti sickness which they sorted for me pretty quickly and that was it for being ill.
To put it in perspective I’ve actively avoided going out for food or to other public places due to my phobia for quite a few years now so I know it’s normally a pretty big issue for me.
I did very much try and go with a “what will be, will be” mentality for labour.
