Preparing for C-Section
This is my first baby and it’s going nothing like I planned but I’m trying to make the most of it. I’m 37 weeks and baby has been transverse my whole pregnancy. We have a ECV on 10/24 at exactly 39 weeks followed by same day induction or c-section depending on how the version goes but I’ve lost all faith that baby will turn by himself or with the ECV. My blood platelet count has also been dropping the last few months and doctors have mentioned having to be put to sleep instead of epidural/spinal tap (but I was prescribed steroids today to try and raise them before 10/24)
How do I prepare for a c-section? Anything extra I should pack in my hospital bag besides the basics?
It took 2 years of ttc to get to this point and even now my body is failing me. I am trying to be ok but I am already contemplating having any more kids after this. I feel like this is about to be a traumatic experience.
