C section tomorrow

I understand the fear but honestly you'll be fine. My first son (3yrs) was born via emergency section and my second recently (12days) via semi elective.

They will likely use a local anaesthetic for the cannula and as long as you use the gas and air for the spinal it will help you relax and will ease the discomfort.

The recovery is easier than you might think. Stay on top of your pain relief and get up and moving as soon as you can. You'll surprise yourself. Xxx

Hey love I’m going in to be induced tomorrow although feel a lot of your anxieties in terms of unknowns around time scales, leaving my toddler for potentially several days etc. I’ll be thinking of you and know you’re not alone. We can and we’re made to do this, deep breaths and just think about the end result it will all be worth it. I know it’s easier said than done but try and relax tonight if you can (i say this as I’m frantically tidying my house and throwing last bits in my hospital bag and still want to shower and wash my hair haha!) but you’ve totally got this. I’ve spoken to several friends who have had positive experiences with a section, ask for support when you need it afterwards and remember it’s the recovery is only a brief chapter. Take care and good luck xx
