I had pre-eclampsia with my first, and had to be induced due to it. I fought long and hard, 16 hours, without any pain meds or epidural because I was afraid it'd slow labor down and I'd have to get a c section.

I have 3 weeks left, and keep getting terrifying nightmares about this labor. I'm super proud and amazed of any mom who has to go through a cesarean, but I know for a fact I would've a heart attack if I have to have one. I just don't think I could go through it as I have major anxiety.

So, to those that have gone through one, what was your experience? Good or bad? Can you actually feel any of it?

I'm trying to mentally prepare myself as I am measuring ahead and Dr discussed with me of having one possibly due to size.
