Help Ease My Fears Please I Am Going Crazy About C Section ! Posted: 05-25-07 18:30pm
i have not posted here but been lurking
for several months.... sorry this will be
kinda long...... i am a basket case! i am
a high high risk pregnancy, due to bladder
cancer, pre eclampsia, an apendectomy at 4
months preg ect... i am lucky i have made
it this long.... i am having a c section
on tues at 8 am due to the preeclamsia and
low fluid around the baby... i will be 1
day shy of 37 weeks... i had steroid shots
at 34 weeks because of prterm labor, i
guess i am just so scared that he will
have problems because of being so early...
can anyone else relate to an early
delivery and maybe tell me what to expect
and how your baby did at 36 37 weeks i
need all the help i can get right now!
thank you

I really don't know too much about this
but I'm pretty sure things will be okay as
far as "being early" goes. I'm pretty sure
anything after 37 weeks is considered full
term anyways so one day shy of full term
shouldnt be a huge deal.
I'm sorry you've had such a rough
pregnancy, you must be one tough chick to
stick out during all this stuff. Kudos to
you.
Try to take it easy and rest your mind,
Tuesday you'll meet your little one!
Good luck with everything!

I haven't had a c section but I've had
surgery. It wasn't as bad as I thought it
would be. it was during my pregnancy so
it was really scary but in the end it was
way worse in my mind leading up to it than
how it played out. I understand the fear
and anxiety but I'm sure you and baby will
be fine. We give doctors a lot of flack
around here sometimes but they really can
do amazing things and i'm sure they will
take great care of you. I'll say a little
prayer for you and baby, that's what
worked best for me. I had a lot of people
praying for us and wishing us well. Good
luck and try not to worry too much.

I think you will do fine with the
c-section. I think knowing beforehand
that you are having it is so much easier
than having it done in an emergency. You
have time to mentally prepare. My first
one was an emergency, and I had a planned
one in March and within 2 weeks I was back
to doing nearly everything I normally do.
Just take it easy and follow dr. orders.
Let your housework slack, don't lift
anything heavier than your baby, if you
have stairs try not to climb them too
much. The first time I had disposable
stiches, the second time I had staples.
Believe it or not I liked the staples
better.
The procedure itself is done very often.
The only think .I really detested was the
spinal. You will do great!
As for the baby, 37 weeks is considered
full term. If you went into labor, they
probably wouldn't stop you. Everything is
developed, the last 3 weeks he/she is
gaining weight and that can be done
outside too.
Believe me, I know it's hard not to stress
but, you will do a great job! Tuesday
night you will be holding your beautiful
baby and you won't have another care in
the world. Enjoy your last few days being
pregnant.
Good luck, be sure to come back and let us
know how you are!
