Hey mamas! I’m scheduled to have a c-section on September 24th. I had an emergency c-section with my son but I was put under and obviously wasn’t aware of what was going on. This time since it’s scheduled I’ll be awake and I’m really nervous about it. Any advice or anything to maybe help calm my nerves? I’ve heard about how you can feel the pressure and tugging and it really freaks me out knowing I’ll be awake while someone is moving my organs around and pulling out my baby 🙃

Hi Mommy! I actually got a C-section but I actually crashed because it was an emergency c-section and was diabetic so I literally almost could have died.
You literally don’t feel anything but TJ cold gloves. 🧤 you are covered from all the intricate details of it and your baby comes out over the peak of light like an angle. Best way to have child birth.

I had a scheduled c section a month ago. This was my 1st birth experience and It was a really pleasant one!
If I were to have another child I’d 100% do it this way again.
Yes you feel the tugging but no pain whatsoever

Hey!
I had an emergency c section 4 weeks ago. Although it was a traumatic time for me (because it was emergency), I would definitely have an elective one next time. I think planned is so much better and calmer for you, birthing partner and the baby! You feel slight tugging but no pain. It kind of feels like someone is giving your belly a little rub😅 you’ve this this Mama🫶 good luck x
