I am pregnant with my 6th child. I have had all va___al deliveries to date. I am absolutely terrified of labour this time. I am 15 weeks and dredding it already. I have 3 boys and 2 girls. All my boys were terrible labours 30+ hours and the girls were 3 and 1/2 hours both. I have just come home from hospital having had surgery 13 days ago, I had emergency surgery to have my appendix removed, as I am pregnant they had to make a much larger incision, about 13-15cms long, and I am still in a lot of pain..Maybe being pregnant is slowing my recovery and making it more painful. But now I am also terrified of a c-section. There is no way in my condition at the moment I could care for a baby as well. This is really worrying me no end...

I too had an emergency appendectomy while pregnant. Although it seems tough now, you will get better. You are only 15 weeks and have plenty of time to recover. It's hard but will get easier. You dont need to worry about caring for a baby for another 25 weeks! Hopefully you will be better by then. Did a doctor say you are at risk for a c/s? Considering you labored and birthed 5 children naturally why not this one too? I would definately get a second opinion on that if you are uncomfortable about c/s. Are you expecting a boy or girl? Most of all try not to worry but pray instead!

thanks for the reply. what I meant about caring for a baby was if I have a c-section and feeling like I am now it would be terrible to have to look after a baby after surgery with all that pain. I dont know why I am so scared of delivery this time, but I am terrified this time.
