Exercises, not drugs: I would suggest breathing and perhaps other exercises; as a pregnant individual, i would not suggest the use of anti anxiety drugs.

Usually goes well: A 2nd c-section at or near term and prior to labor and after a good pregnancy almost always goes smoothly.

Cesarean section: Well, get a good night's sleep prior to your scheduled operation. Sometimes your doctor may recommend a sleep med for that night. Speak with the anesthesiologist as soon as you can regarding your anxiety. That will help them take care of you.
