scared from googling too much

[socitycourty]

had my c section on 6/3/12. googled about recovery and etc. and am now scared to death of complications.....

i'm a hypochondriac for sure but this really has me scared. the OB said everything went well but i'm afraid i'll get a clot or hemmorage and die or at least have to be in hospital again. i am so traumatized after my surgery and hospital stay

Take it easy, and try not to think about stuff like that. I recovered wonderfully from mine. just make sure you aren't over doing it - and keep your incision dry!

google is NOT a good place, especially if your a hypochondriac!

The c section is one of the safest surgeries available! And it's one of the most common surgeries. Youve got a beautiful little baby to take care of now. Don't worry yourself with things that you don't need to. (easier said than done I know).

If the doctors believed anything was wrong or your at risk of anything they would of kept you in hospital.
My c section was perfect as well as the recovery, Just take it easy for the first few weeks, if anything was to go wrong trust that your body will tell you.

I suffer from anxiety, and im constantly panicking also. I have a high bmi and therefore have a higher risk of clots and thats always playing on my mind. If i feel a twitch in my leg i panic and its getting me really down. 11 days post section and still worried sick of something going wrong.

Why is your OB saying that you will get a clot or haemmorhage? Why did he/she not say that you might have a chance?

I agree with Sydneymother, If you were such a high risk of developing these complications, they would keep you in hospital Try not to worry too much and googling does make it worse

Stop googling, why bother if it has nothing but negative things to say? There are complications or things that CAN happen as with ANY surgery. The benefits outweigh the risks which I'm sure your doctor thought about before doing the surgery. It's very rare for those things to happen. Don't worry and enjoy your baby, they don't stay that size very long.

i feel dumb for worrying about it but i do suffer from health anxiety so i'm nbot surprised......

you will be perfectly fine, and like Sydneymother says, if there was any complication or serious problem then they would have kept you in hosptial

I had an emcs and lost a lot of blood but am fine now two weeks down the track, so really there is nothing to fear, these bad problems that you google happen to like one in a thousand people

really glad i found this post i thought i was being stupid for worrying so much and being so anxious.. Im also quite a worrier by nature and the type to pull out the leaflets from the medication boxes and convince myself ill get the worst side effects. After my c-section my anxiety is sky high and i was sure i would get a blood clot or that i wont heal properly and end up back in hospital. Anything medical now makes my heart race even hearing an ambulance on the street reminds me i had an operation and makes me worry about it all again. Its completely put me off ever having another baby just from fear that ill be one of the people something happens too like a rupture or internal bleeding. its been 4 weeks since my op and my anxiety is exhausting me. im just trying to get on with things and enjoy my twin beautiful boys
