Elective C-section

Hi there! I was the same like you just a few months before! However the fear is definitely worse than the experience I should say. Which hospital is it? Mine was at TMC. I suggest watching the video Xiaxue filmed during her c sect to understand more. It has a good flow of what to expect and is light hearted which helped me heaps. Some tips I have: 1) the most nervous parts should be when the nurse arrive to wheel you to the OT and when you are waiting outside the surgery room. Partly because it’s happening and your hubby won’t join u till ur procedure is about to start. Talking to my baby helped me so maybe it will help you too. Treasure these last moments and tell your baby that you will see him/her soon 2) the friendly anesthetist is your best friend. I voiced to her my fear and she patiently explained the two jabs I was going to receive and how i was going to feel. It was not painful at all actually. She was really reassuring too. 3) the shivering after the procedure is quite significant. Do ask for extra blanket if needed or ask your hubby to bring a thick jacket for you. 4) take the pain meds after the procedure - I took them and never once felt the pain was overwhelming and I have a low pain threshold haha. The entire procedure is really fast actually. If you have any more questions pls feel free to ask me. Jiayou, hope you have a smooth delivery and recover soon.
