I have only been in the hospital four times in my life -- once just a few weeks ago for the baby not kicking like he usually does, once to get staples in my head when a friend bit me, once for a spider bite, and once for a toothache to get antibiotics. I haven't EVER had a surgery, major or minor .. nothing even close. I've had cavities filled, blood drawn, shots, & that's about the extent of it. I AM TERRIFIED that I will have a c-section, no "experience" in the surgery department at all. Anyone else like this? I am so scared. I mean if I have to have one, okay, that's fine, that's obviously how it's supposed to be. BUT, I am sooooo scared of it. What can I do to get over this, if anything? I can't explain it I guess. I mean, I haven't EVER been in the hospital for more than a few hours, so going from that, to a major surgery that I am awake for sounds pretty scary. HELP!!? I need some stories :)
