I'm so nervous for repeat c-section!
I am having my second baby. My 1st was delivered via emergency csection after 26 hours of labor. My sons head was cockeyed and his shoulders were stuck. The doctor tried to rotate him so we could deliver vaginally...he went into distress and off to the OR we went. He was perfectly fine, other than being a little banged up. Well, my uterine incision didn't close nor heal well, leaving a large "hole" in my uterus. I had to have a uterine re-section and repair in hopes I could carry another child some day, so I am not a VBAC candidate due to the risk of uterine rupture. I am now pregnant with baby #2 & part of my uterine repair has ripped open at 23 weeks. I have been on hospital bed rest on and off for the past 11 weeks. I am currently 33+4, my csection is scheduled next week on the 11th! I am so scared to have another csection especially after what happened to me last time. I know this time it's scheduled, which I've heard is easier then and emergency situation. I just can't help worrying about being on the table, being cut open, the pain and the healing. My lil guy will be in the NICU too. Any kind words or advice will help :)
