C section worries!

I find it really difficult to breathe when laying on my back because of the pressure of bump I suppose. I’m worried that I’m going to find it difficult to breathe when having my section done. Did anyone else feel the same

This is me!! I’m about to ask if they can put a pillow under me 🤣

If it helps reassure you at all, the amount of time you’re on your back before baby makes their arrival is pretty short ☺️

@Jayne i was going to say! Its maybe 15-20 minutes

@Jayne that really helps thank you. Sounds daft but once baby is out does the pressure release? X

@Ames once baby is out you won’t notice anything else! Plus you’re pretty numb x

I was literally numb from my boobs down so couldn’t feel a thing 🤣 this was something I worried about tho but you won’t feel it x

@Megan silly question but you know with you feeling numb from boobs down could you still feel yourself breathing😂xx

Because you’re numb from chest down pretty much within minutes after laying down, you don’t get chance to feel like you can’t breathe! I remember feeling like that towards the end of my pregnancy yet during the c section because you’re numb you don’t feel that pressure/weight xx

@Ashleigh that’s really reassuring thank you! I laid in bed before on my back and realise oh shit how am I gonna do this for the entire operation 😂xx

@Ames yeah you can it’s all such a weird sensation but within 10 mins you get handed you baby and you don’t really think about anything else ☺️ x

@Megan that’s what I’m worried about! The numb feeling 😂😂I’m really excited though! Only 6 days left for me x

It’s a weird sensation where you can’t take full deep breaths anyway as your diaphragm is alseep so you will feel heavy but you will be fine xx

I wasn’t numb I just couldn’t feel pain, could feel the touch though x

I had this same issue towards the end of my pregnancy, and I’m jumping in to say there’s no better relief then when they pull that baby out during the c section bc you’ll IMMEDIATELY be able to breathe again for the first time in months 😅😅

Hey so try putting a pillow in between your legs it should help .
