I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second child who I will have by c-section on 12/13. I am excited to have the baby but am having very bad anxiety about going to the hospital to have the c-section. I fear that i may not live through the c-section to see my 4 year old again. I am afraid of the pain. Can any one help me out with some pointers if you have been here before. Every day feels a little darker as I move closer to the 13th. My first c-section was an emergency and I freaked out even then. I can't seem to calm down and crying and prayers don't help. please help me out someone.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I can remember when I got pregnant, I was scared to death of needles and blood work was always being done and I HATED it, but for the babies sakes, I had to. I can remember many times during both pregnancies being so scared, but I would say to myself, "Well too late now..... it's in there now and it's gotta come out one way or another!"
All will be fine. My mother had me emergency c-section almost 50 years ago. And I came out BEAUTIFUL :) C-section babies are the most beautiful as they don't have the trauma of vaginal birth. You will feel no pain as it is planned and not an emergency. They will numb you from the waist down and it's over so fast.......... unlike the looooooooooong drawn out labor and birth. All the stars are doing c-sections these days!! Seems to be a fad with the rich and famous!
Focus on meeting your baby for the first time and maybe that will help decrease your fear. The joy of seeing that little face for the very first time and touching and feeling him/her. And your 4 year old will be SQUEALING with delight!
Post pictures once he/she is here!!!
