Scheduled c section

This will be my third c section, my first was an emergency with pre eclampsia in June of 2013. My second was mandatory as I didn’t wait for the proper healing time before expecting to have a vbac, so I had a scheduled May 2014.

This one is scheduled for March 6th @ 5:45am...

My first went surprisingly smooth considering the circumstances.

My second was more tough, the spinal caused a shooting pain in one of my legs, during surgery I was so numb I could no longer swallow my own saliva and began choking on it.

I know I have time to prepare, but I’m scared. Why am I scared? I’ve done this before, twice before. What’s there to be afraid of?

As the time approaches closer I become more anxious. I don’t want to die, i don’t want complications. I don’t want to bleed out.

What did you ladies do to calm yourselves in the upcoming weeks before surgery?
