    Talk to the care providers at the hospital. Make it very clear you need support. Explain what happened last time and how you felt.

    Can someone stay with you at the hospital? Partner, friend or parent?

    Good luck
    ^^^^^ this.

    You need to talk to the hospital now and explain your situation. If they don't know about it, if and when they happen, they won't know how to handle it. If you are honest and clear about what could happen, how you feel, and that you need support, they should be able to help you. (they'd be heartless if they didn't.)

    All the best

    Hello girls,
    thanks for the replies.

    I had a emergency visit at hospital yesterday, got some pinkish spot and contractions , so painful I couldn't explain in words. while getting monitored me and bubs heart beat on a scanner a nurse came ( super harsh woman) we are going to admit you! contraction results won't look good. may be you have a emergency c section tonight and i was almost fainted and an Anxiety attack!! i controlled it so hard.woman realised i was uncomfortable, wonder what triggered her anger she said if u are scared of C section why planed this pregnancy . and i was what!! even my mum in law never talked me this way and in this tone! and my contractions jumped and breath out of order.woman had problem with my every thing, from past c sections to my food aversions to iron levels.


    why these nurses treat me this way I don't know. I'm pretty down to earth no argument kind of person.

    while controlling and hiding anxiety a God sent young doc came in I discussed her my situation about being nervous, worried n not mentally prepared for op.she put me at peace
    n my contractions stopped,she checked me internally all looked fine.she kept checking my contractions for 2 hours n was given all clear n told these are may be braxton hicks.so Iam home controlling pain with panadol rapid.

    well my hospital hasn't any good reputation already and such behaviour of nurses! giving me restlessness how I would deal if I get such kind of classic pieces again.
