Nervous to have another c section
So I had a somewhat emergency c section 5 weeks ago after being in labor for 19 hours and pushing for several hours. Baby girl was vacuumed out due to being so far down in birth canal and my doc had a hard time with the surgery as my pelvis is so small. If I have another baby, which hubby definitely wants, I know I will have a scheduled c section. I’m terrified as my experience was very traumatic (including the actual c section where I felt most of what was happening and was never put to sleep 😬) so I just want to know your thoughts.
Anyone who has had a similar experience on their first c section baby - how was the second scheduled c section comparatively and how did you prepare for it mentally? I know it’s super soon to be thinking about another baby, this is for down the road maybe 2-3 years lol.
