C SECTION tomorrow......scared UPDATE

I had a c section 19 months ago with my twins. The spinal didn't work and i was put under general anesthesia for the procedure. I woke up and every thing was over. Tomorrow I am having a repeat c section and I am scared to death to be awake for the procedure. I am afraid I will panic and ruin the precious birth of my daughter. I am in tears every time I think of getting the surgery. What can I expect being awake for this... I am hoping I am not gonna totally meltdown tomorrow.

THANKS!!
UPDATE....................The spinal didnt work again and i got knocked out. Praise the Lord.....i had a major panic attack before hand. All is well and i feel awesome and my baby is perfect.

well i hope everything works great for you


i was awake for mine

but not gonna lie.. the anesthesiologist didnt listen to me.. so i felt parts of them working on me

i remember hearing my son cry
i remember my bf saying "high five" ((lol))
and i remember seeing my son for the first time


after that... its a blur




things will go great for you!!

Ahhhh., momma it will all work out. I promise. Get some much needed sleep and relax. I will be thinking of you

i haven't had a c section but all of my friends say that it doesn't hurt, it is just uncomfortable and weird, but you will forget it all when you have the baby, good luck and congrats. try not to think about that

I was awake during my c-section and I am soooooo happy that I was, it is scary, but if the spinal works anything like the one they gave me, you wont be able to feel anything but slight pressure.

LOL. This is her second c-section and yes they hurt like a Mother!!! After that med wears off you are in serious pain for days! Think about it. They cut you practically in half!

I am freaked still..... I have to be sedated just for dental work. I have passed out at an eye exam. I know after the fact I will be fine. Its just those minutes during I am sooooo scared...I was completely knocked out and asleep last time.

Don't stress mama everything should be fine.
I was awake for mine. I remember feeling a little bit of pressure and then tugging and then the baby was crying.
you can't see anything because of the shield.

mmm gotta love laughing gas

I just had my second c-section 3 months ago. I had the spinal and honestly, I liked it better than the first one. I remember everything, the part I didn't like was waiting to be stitched back up, but that is because I am an impatient person. I got to bf right after I got stitched up, got to hold my son for a minute right after they wrapped him in a blanket. The worst part about anything in the hospital was the MIL and ONE nurse who just didn't listen when I said he isn't leaving my room. I shut her up quick.

Sorry to ramble. I'm sure everything will be better this time. Shorter recovery included.

I freaked out when they told me I was going to have a c section and be awake for it. I wanted put under but I'm so glad I wasn't. It actually wasn't scary at all! They pretty much just take you into the room and get you all set up and make sure your numb from your nipple down then they let your SO into the room and they begin. You don't feel anything until they say "your going to feel some pressure" and your little one is born =). then of course they stitch you up or whatever they decide to do. At my hospital they tied my hands and legs down just incase i started freaking out but i couldn't even move my legs? Ha who knows. Just be prepared to be really itchy afterwards from the numbing stuff.

Too bad they took it the next day. lol

I didn't get any pain meds afterwards besides tylenol and ibprophen or whatever. The pain was horrible but soooo worth it
