Anxiety about C-section??

Question

I’m scheduled for a c-section Wednesday. We have to arrive at 5 that morning, I’m so anxious about it. Every time I think about the C-section I get this over whelming sense of doom. Is this just anxiety about the whole thing? It’s getting to where I can’t function on a normal day because of it.

Answer

My c section wasn’t horrible. The recovery was very pleasant but that is because I pushed myself way too hard at 4 days postpartum. I thought I could bounce back like I did with my first even though her birth was vaginal. Take it easy, rely on any and all help possible. Get up and walk as soon as your doctor says it’s okay and when you feel ready. However, take the walking slowly like just walk to the bathroom and back to bed a few times if you feel like walking out of the room do it slowly. Take pain meds routinely for the first couple days even when you don’t think you need it. Getting out of bed at the hospital and at home ask for help. The house is okay to be messy while you recover. Pack loose fitting clothes or stay in a robe. If you plan to breastfeed you are going to experience contractions like cramps that is normal it just can suck for the first few weeks.
