C section fears! Emetaphobia help!

So I have GD. Overall my pregnancy has been okay mentally and I have been seeing mental health consultants and midwives etc who have been amazing! However, today I have been told my c section will be moved forward to 38 weeks I’m currently 32 weeks. I chose a c section because of my mental health the fear of something going wrong I think I would struggle. But now it’s because of the GD. I have emetaphobia (fear of being sick) I have expressed this with my mental health consultant who was due to do my c section at 39 weeks and she was amazing! I spoke to my GD consultant about it while he wrote up the new request for the section at 38 weeks and he was awful he basically said it was kind of tough and it is what it is. I also asked who will be doing my section to which he said he couldn’t tell me although I knew who was doing it at 39 weeks! Anyone else have the same fears it’s really effecting my anxiety and I’m struggling to enjoy any part of my pregnancy journey that’s remaining. I am in the UK but happy with experiences worldwide!

No advice on c section but I have emetephobia, the anti sickness they give you through a cannula is strong ask for some though I think they give you some anyway xx

@Sarah Colbourne this is what my mental health consultant said but my diabetes one was like well once the spinal in it’s too late so if you’re sick you’re sick.. cried for an hour and could still cry about it this morning 😭

Omg in my 1st pregnancy I got treated badly some staff are rude
