Scheduled c-section and afraid. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Discuss your fear with your surgeon/ physician/ nursing staff. Education also helps to reduce fear. Some level of anxiety is normal. If you become acutely fearful - Breath in slowly & deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to
