I too am having a scheduled c-sec. on Dec. 5th (OMG that's in 11 more sleeps).

First c-section for me and I am feeling very nervous/anxious about the whole thing.

My first was born in 2005 after 17 hours of labour and then surgery followed as my placenta would not deliver. I have a beautiful almost four year old boy.

I have the scar so that is one less thing to think about. With my 1st pregnancy, it was ectopic and when they were doing the lap. surgery on my right tube, they nicked an artery so they had to cut me open c-section sytle and find out where they made their "mistake". I had a blood tranfusion and nearly died in that second surgery - so hence the nervousness around surgery. Recovery was very painfull

Baby is a footling breech and also has SUA (single umbilical artery) so there is alot going on and just getting this far feels like a miracle to DH and I.

I have done much research on SUA and feel informed, but worried none the less.

Any tips from the experienced c-sectioners on healing and recovery?
