Moms who had repeat c-sections...

As you got closer and closer to delivery, did you have a lot of anxiety?

I still have a while to go but I've been having terrible nightmares lately. 

It's no secret that my first c-section didn't go perfectly...but neither did my labor.  So really this is the lesser of two evils and I should be calm and relaxed but I just keep seeing myself in there and feeling them cut me and I yell, but they can't hear me.  And Dave is nowhere to be found.

I want these dreams to go away.  Do you think if at my next appt I ask the Dr to give me full details of how this will unfold I might be less tense? 

I told Dave last night I'm thrilled to be having this baby- but I'm scared to death at getting him out, no matter which way it is!

Re: Moms who had repeat c-sections...

  • YES - TALK TO DR.K and ask him to walk you through the entire process.  This is the ONLY thing that helped me.  I was unbelievalbly anxious and the closer it got the worse I got.  I was a total mess and actually started crying at my appointment!

    I doubt I can even remember most of my second one becasue it went so well.  But I do know that Dr. K made me feel so much better after he explained to me what exactly would happen and it went exactly as he described.
  • thanks...I'll have to try and actually GET an appt w/ him.  I think he knows I crush on him so he avoids the Hartford office on Wed...lol ;)

    my appt next week is w/ Dr Saidel

  • LOL- you can ask Dr. Siadel too - I'm sure he'll walk you through the whole process too!
