Enjoy. I had two and they were fine.
One thing i didn't expect but that happened was that I got the shakes on the operating table. The anesthetist told me it was all normal - drugs plus adrenalin. I was shaking like a jelly and couldn't stop for a while.so if you start then don't worry, it is normal
I took arnica (homeopathic) with my first section and think I will again, it is meant to speed up healing. Maybe ask someone to get you some. Mine were little tiny balls I had To swallow. No side effects, just herbal.
I agree, big big pants. And get up and showered as soon as they allow since that made me feel so much better.
And most of all enjoy, it is so exciting laying there knowing you will meet your baby so soon!
Oh, and hope for a dishy anesthetist! when I had mine the anesthetist was rather attractive, and with the second section he asked me to lay on my side and curl into a ball (ith the first i was just sat up leaning forward) so he could put the needle in my back. I was naked at the back (back opening gown) and i spent the whole injection thinking "oh no! He can see my big naked curled up backside, and lord kows what else, this is so embarrassing!" In fact it really helped take my mind off the needle! Lol.
The injection wasn't too bad a all. Just felt like pressure.
You will do fine.
Enjoy! Xx
