Pregnancy Info HOME

I have recently had my 2nd c-section and I too have panic attacks. If you do have to have a c-section... which may not be the case sometimes the baby doesn't engage until the onset of labor and 8 pounds is pretty typical. I suggest you try to look at the situation with a different perspective. I definatley know that the last few weeks are hard, but since you know that you are prone to panic attacks, try to use self talk to ease your anticipation. If you do end up having a c-section it will seem very overwhelming in a lot of ways, but you can do it. What got me was when they strap your arms to a board. I felt so restrained. During my first c-section I had a panic attack right there on the table and it was horrible. This time around I knew more of what to expect and I did great.. and if you educate yourself you will too.
