Scheduled for C-Section July 3rd and Terrified

June 22, 2004

My due date is July 14th, but my Dr is afraid with my hernia and this

kid being like 8-9lbs already that all the pushing that is involved

it will make my hernia worse then it already is. It does bother me

sometimes but not bad. He never even mentioned wearing a binder

during labor. After they scared the hell out of me before my GBS

which was 8-21-04 about blood clots and such. My WL surgeon had his

patients given ourselves Lovenox(Blood thinner) shots everyday for 10

days after surgery. So now im terrified having this C-section and

not to mention the epidural or spinal...a needle in my back just

makes me wanna cry even thou if I had gone natural i wanted anyway.

I am not very good when it comes to pain. So I am scared that

something is gonna go wrong and with all the extra skin i have since

WLS surgery im also afraid about the C-section healing. Am I just

being silly or what?? Has anyone had a C-section with all the extra

skin and how did you deal with getting the inscision to heal??? Any

information would ease my worries. Thanks so much.
