Hey hun try not to worry too much as hard as it is. All the staff are so caring and professional. It may help if you ask for an early admission time. You can email or call ur pc and let them know you’re very anxious.
I had an early admission it was 7am as I was higher risk due to medical history and I was having a mini uplift so under for nearly twice as long. When ur am early admission ur usually on the top of the list so no waiting around getting nervous and worked up.
I literally got shown my room, pregnancy test, gown, weighed, checked medical history and notes, saw surgeon got drawn on, double checked the sizes ordered and what I was having, signed paperwork then sat for a few mins then walked to theatre with the anesthetist and put to sleep.
Mya send a little video in your admission confirmation email which really helped. It goes through all the steps in the say, who u will see etc. It’s on you tube somewhere and it made me more aware of the process to put my mind at rest.
The fear of the unknown is what can cause so much anxiety so the more you know and speak to people who have had it the better u should feel about it.
I’d only been put to sleep partially once before when I had wisdom teeth out and I woke up halfway through which was really scary. They hadn’t told me I wasn’t gona be totally knocked out so for my ba I was like omg please make sure I don’t wake up.
Looking back I was really silly but it was the fear that it could happen that freaked me out. The anesthetist was so calm and really chatty he took my mind off things and in the end I just ignored him talking when I was on the table as I was scared and just praying silently to myself lol. He knew I was bricking it as I was just silent and I’m never silent I’m usually so chatty.
I’d call ur pc and let her know how you’re really feeling if your uncertain because they will need to rebook or cancel and it incurs a fee also.
There’s no pressure on the day at all everyone there is so helpful and caring. Fxx
