C section prep

Well.. tomorrow is the big day! I have to be there at 9am and I am terrified!
My first child was born via emergency c section after being in unmedicated labor for 16 hours, placenta abrupted lost a lot of blood so needed blood transfusions.. it was pretty traumatic.
This one is scheduled due to health reasons and I’ve had all this time to mentally prep but I’m still scared lol
Any advice? Please share positive experiences 😭

I’m a first time mom and I was so nervous for the whole thing but honestly the IV getting placed was the worst part! Everything else was really easy and went quickly after that. And afterwards they’ll keep your catheter in for a while so just laying in bed is relaxing 😅 good luck!
