Wondering if a C-Section would be best
Please read!
I struggle with chronic headaches/migraines. I also struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. I have had my anxiety under control this whole pregnancy until today. I have had a bad headache for about 2 days. Last night I was on the edge of tears it hurt so bad. This morning I woke up with my neck screaming in pain. I don't know what I did but I can hardly move it and it is causing a sharp pain from my neck into the top of my head. I started panicking thinking about the delivery of the baby. What if I have a headache this bad? What if pushing during my headaches causes me to stroke out? Or pass out? What if the epidural doesn't work like it is supposed to and the pain causes me to panic and I can't push or birth my baby because I can't calm down? A C-Section is so much more controlled and predictable from my understanding.
I know that to some of you I may sound erratic and possibly stupid. Please take into consideration that these are real fears of mine. Please try to be understanding. I am going to talk to my OB at our next visit about this and what she thinks will be best for me. I'm looking for someone who maybe struggles with one or more of these issues too and can give me some insight.
