dreading my c section ;(

im getting to the point that im really dreading my section im haveing it at 30 weeks maybe a bit later if they can get me that far due to preeclampsia and probs with placenta and i really feel like im not even gonna come through it i no i sound pathetic cos its my 3rd 1 its just the feeling of been out of it cos of the drugs they give u and i get awfull itchyness whilst im haveing the section on my nose and i cant stop shakeing cos not even cos i get cold i dont no wot it is and my teeth chatter i just feel awfull and the pain aswell last time they made me so sick cos they kept pumping me full of morphine and i was telling them no cos i wud be sick and suprise suprise i was i just dont wan to feel like crap again through it or after the section i feel dead drowsy wen the procediure is takeing place but i dont understand y that is cos u only have the spinal and fluids they must put something through ur needle in ur hand whilst u r in there cos i get out of it does any1 else get like this and is it normal? xx

  • the shaking and dizziness is probably cause of the spinal! normal side effect!

    the itching on your nose / face / body is totally normal - a side effect of morphine!! just ask for an antihistamine next time it happens!! i scratched my nose so bad it bled before i realised what i was doing!! Piriton sorted that out!!

    let them know how you respond to morphine - with it making you sick, and they should be able to give you something to stop you being sick!!

    hopefully you'll get passed 30weeks this time!!

  • whatever you do, you must tell them about your swelling!! it really isnt worth not doing, i promise!! if something happened to you or lo you would never forgive yourself just for not having another blood test!

    promise me you will tell them today!!

    i know it is a huge pain in the bum that you are going 2x a week, but the docs obviously think you are worth it, honey!! i can assure you, we dont see everyone unless we really need to!!


    i know what you mean about prem babies - you think they are ok, then something else crops up! but that is kids, isnt it - you know they'll pull thru in the end, after making you gray haired with worry!

    please be good today and tell them!! :lol:
  • Hey hope it all went ok??
