First c section - TERRIFIED

Ni

I just found this group existed and so grateful.

Baby is breech and my doc was saying possible c section and I'm pretty certain its gonna be scheduled cuz I'm already over 37 weeks. I'm new to surgery and it terrifies me plus as my first baby there's already so many concerns I have. So much so I think I'm gonna die. Yeah it's that bad and that irrational 😭😖😖😖.

My fears aside (cuz I feel selfish honestly) my biggest concern is that baby will be okay 💖

Its this huge internal battle I'm having with myself. I KNOW doctors know what they are doing and I need to trust that. However , I'm having trouble accepting the c section will go okay for me personally, my fears are taking over really intensely and now my body is having weird reactions to stress which I know isn't good for babe. I just think of every bad outcome and it's overwhelming.

Can anyone help calm my nerves and share some stuff in detail? I seriously appreciate anyone taking the time to read this and share. I also have so much respect for you , I'm losing it over here 😭

Thank you ladies 💖
