C Section Scheduled 😰

At my 38 week appointment yesterday my OB told me we should plan to have a C Section. I have Gestational Diabetes and baby boy has been measuring big since about 30 weeks. He’s currently estimated to be almost 10 lbs 😱 Dr. feels that due to his size his risk of injury from a natural birth is too high and that a C Section would be best. This is my 2nd baby, first baby boy was 7 lbs 7 oz at birth so this is all different for me. Not gonna lie, I’m pretty nervous about this. I’m worried for baby’s safety and the pain and restrictions on me from having the surgery.

Any mommas out there who have had a C Section have any tips, insight or reassurances about having this done?? I feel guilty that it has to come to this, I had my heart set on a normal delivery...
