how do i control my anxiety about my c sec tmrw morning? just the thought of it makes me wanna puke!

I would go shopping for some cute baby things....and I am not joking. I love to shop and it would keep my mind off of it.

Or you could spend your time cleaning up the house or cooking some frozen meals.

Go to the library and get a good book that has nothing to do with babies!!! :)

I like the shopping idea. Also keep looking past the surgery to the new member of your family. :)

you gotta change your view on things. You have to go in and do it, its out of your hands, so what is the point of worrying about it? I used to stress, and now I just remind myself I cant do anything about it, so might as well just go with the flow. go buy some stuff if you can....have a day with your best friend. pedicure sounds nice! It will be ok.... :D

Just think, all you have to do is go in and lie down. There is no pressure on you to do anything at all. I was much calmer with my c- sections than my natural birth. It was out of my hands.

Ehh... I had two, and I still got panicky with both. Just keep breathing is my advice.

Remember that it will all be over before you know it and then you will be holding your little bundle of joy.

This is more about while having the c-sect.... With my first one I wasn't told anything while having it done which for me was very nerve racking since you can't see anything. The 2nd one I mentioned it and they told me everything that they were doing and it was so much easier on my mind. I think it gave me a sense of control that I at least knew what they were doing.

I had one, it is really not that bad. You will feel some presure and maybe like pulling but in on way any pain. They give you good meds for pain so that is not too bad. Try to to worry. My best adivice is for the first week or so, just take your pain pill on schedule, dont' wait until it huts to take them because that is when the pain gets bad. Hey at least this way you can make sure eveyone you to be there is there, as oposed to going into labor in the middle of the night and the only people there are the ones that keep their phones on at night

I love the shopping idea, go do something to take your mind off of it, it'll all go fine, and your little baby will be in your arms in no time. I had an emergency c-section with my first and having a planned c-section with this one, there isn't anything you can do to totally take your anxiety away but just try to remain calm and think of how soon you'll be holding your baby. (: Also, don't hesitate to talk to the doctors and nurses that are in the room during the c-section, it helped calmed me down ALOT and they were very nice and it made it go by a lot quicker. Congrats and good luck!
