I am having my scheduled c-section in 37 hours! (Saturaday morning at 11am). This will be my third c-section so you would really think that I'm a pro at it, but honestly I'm getting scared. My first was an emergency. My second one was a planned repeat. And this one is just a good old planned repeat. But for some reason the nerves are really starting to kick in. When I think about having the surgery I think about all the bad stuff that can happen. And what if I die on the table? I will leave my two older babies and my new born without a mom. And then I start crying thinking about how tomorrow might be the last day I get to spend with my two toddlers. I know I'm being hormonal and irrational and that major complications are very rare, but it's still scary as hell. Anyone else having a c-section and feeling this way? My husband is supportive, but he just doesn't get it. He just tells me that everything will be fine and to stop thinking this way. But I can't. I'm terrified I won't get to see my babies after I leave the house Saturday morning. This is our last baby and my hubby is getting a vesectomy. DH wants me to get a tubal as well just to be extra cautious but I really haven't wanted to. Mainly because I have heard that a lot of women have harder periods and complications with them. But now I'm thinking that maybe I should do it because I don't want to risk getting pregnant again (because nothing is 100%) and then having to go through all this again. *Sigh* sorry to unload. I'm just super emotional tonight.
