scheduled c section

So I was disappointed to find out today that I won't be able to have a natural drug Free birth like I can had planned. I'll be having a scheduled c section Monday or Tuesday I almost cried. I'm excited to meet my baby girl but so nervous at the same time!

Yeah I'm not small though Lol I didn't think so but I guess my pelvis is. && yes you're so right as long as my baby girl is healthy I'm perfectly fine with it. I think I'm just scared for the recovery & I really want to be able to hold & be with her right after birth I really have no idea what to expect

Try not to worry. I know it isn't what you planned, but if your doctor thinks it isn't going to work, there are some serious risks if doc is right. If baby's  head gets stuck and they have to do an emergency csection, they may have to knock you out. That means a risk of anesthesia to baby and you. It also means a longer recovery before you get to hold your little one. I had dreams of an all natural delivery and it ended in a c section so I really do understand the disappointment but in the end, all that really matters is that you have that baby healthy and in your arms, right?

Awl I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes babies don't drop until labor stars. I will be getting induce next week so I guess nothing goes as planned.
