3rd c-section...yikes! Claustrophobia!

[MMOD]

Hi all!! Wondering if anyone who has had a csection was given anything BEFORE the baby was out. I have some MAJOR claustrophobia issues (major) and had a full blown panic attack with my first child. Second time was MUCH better but still freaked out a little. My doctor already told me this time around it a section would be scheduled ( I labored for 19 hours with my second when trying for a VBAC...she was 10 lbs. 6 oz!!). I did get some good drugs after the kids were out and I did not have any memory issues but I've read of people getting something to keep them calm before the baby is out. Wondering if anyone was given anything? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant and already getting scared about having another section!!!!!! Help!!

hey mmod, ive had 2 sections and really want another baby, but even though thankgod i had 2 good sections..the thought of a 3rd terrifies me haha! i cant remember which section it was but i did start to panic and i was convinced i couldnt breath, and i was told of course you can breath haha, just blow on the back of your hand....i think wen i heard baby crying that it did calm me down otherwise i dont know if my panic wouldve got worse ;-)
iam poss one of the softest people ever ha! so soft that each time ive walked to the op theatre ive cried my eyes out haha!!
also i know this sounds daft, but once ive had the anastetic, knowing full well i cant move my bottom half of my body..i think to myself 'oh god' i cant move my body and i think thats some sort of 'panic attack' haha...
i also think if i get preg again, iam going to burst open hahaha!! so i havnt made you laugh, dont think anybody will
speak soon
