Stressin out....please help if u can....

Ok the closer this baby gets to coming out the more things i keep thinking about.....i know hernias can happen to ANYONE but did anyone notice that they got a hernia assoiciated with the surgery?? im nervous that its going to be alot of stress on the pouch and my scars are still slightly healing...even though its almost been 2 years.

AND did anyone have any issues NOT eating during the labor?? im nervous im not going to be able to go through that long process{if it is long...} without eating...but yet i REALLLLLY didnt want to eat b/c of the obvious BM that will go along!! :( and they say that b/c i have LOW LOW sugars during this pregnancy that they can just give me a solution of sugar...but im not sure thats the best thing specially b.c of surgery....ANY IDEAS??? thoughts comments would be great guys!!!

I developed a hernia probably midway through my pregnancy with the twins.   It corrected itself after delivery which is what will happen with most women.    What I want to know is why your scars are still healing 2 years later.  That seems out of the ordinary, but I'm sure strangers things have happened.  

Also, I went about 17 hours with no food and I survived just fine.   Trust me when I tell you the hospital is not going to let you get so sick where it becomes emergent.  I think the eating thing depends on your Dr.   Some Dr's let their patients eat all through labor, some don't.  Mine didn't allow it. 

i guess "not healing" wouldnt be the correct term....they are still red and soft. drs say its just the way my body heals. slow. nice huh?? so its taking ALOT longer for the scars to become like part of my normal skin an not be that noticeable.
So not eating for 17hrs didnt bother you??? see i get very weak and lightheaded if i go several hours without food.....and THAT is what i am worried about. there ARE days that i feel like i dont have to eat....but that day im sure will not be one of them b/c id like it to be!! haha. and i heard that many Drs dont allow eating....and that is where the sugar solution IV comes in i guess???
idk...didnt think id be this nervous....but im proving myself very wrong.

I do too.  (get really lightheaded and weak)  My adrenaline was pumping so food was the last thing on my mind.   Even when my husband was chomping down on food right in front of my face.  LOL 

As soon as you arrive at the hospital they are going to start an IV.  You will get fluids.   If you are so worried that it's going to make you think of nothing else (which by the way I am going to bet you a million dollars that once you are in active labor you will not be thinking of food) then just make sure you can have a little something.   I'm sure they will accommodate you with something light like crackers or something along those lines.  

I was eating every 2 hours to avoid feeling crappy, and getting low blood sugars...but as my pregnancy came to an end, I could barely eat much at a sitting.  I would just get so full.  Here are my thoughts...My daughter was my first, but my plan was to tolerate contractions to the point of needing to be at the hospital (plus my hospital sends you home to do any early labor.)..During that time you are free to munch on snacks or eat and drink.  However, once you check into the hospital eating is not an option because of the risks of having any emerg. surgery.  I was able to suck on lolly pops, I believe I was able to have ice chips. I remember smelling others foods and thinking that sounds good- but it was not my focus and I didn't feel crappy without.  (I'm thinking the IV fluids had a limited amount of sugar to keep me comfie)..I labored for 17 hours and still ended with a c-section..I went to the hospital at 10 or 11pm, and didn't see food until 8 or 9pm the next day..I didn't miss it.  As far as the BM issue that food has been in your system before labor started- but I can't actively talk about that issue since I had a c-section.  Try to relax- I remember internally becoming a mess several weeks before baby, thinking about labor.  I must say it was a much better experience then I imagined even with my little complications.  I am proud to say I wasn't a screaming, unreasonable, sobbing, b*tch, or a "get this baby out" mess.  I was able to be very comfortable and keep company around for entertainment.  Best of luck- can't wait to hear about your labor.

I was at that point of not eating alot because i was getting full REALLY quick...like last week....not all of a sudden im back to eating alot. {not excessive...haha but alot for what i normally would eat} which someone made a good point about being full b/c the baby could be rubbing the pouch the wrong way or sumthing. however...i think that i just figured since NUTHING has gone wrong at all with this whole 8month process that i feel as though its going to happen in the hospital! haha {i know i think such the worst cases its terrible} im HOPING that i can have a C section although ive had many people say that a C section is WAY worse.....{which im sure there are different sides to every story} i cant imagin pushin the watermelon out to be honest...i hate pain! its terrible!!! haha i guess i kinda just figured id deal with that issue when it came...and now its here and im like FREAKIN out! idk im sure im in a hospital so it cant be BAD they would have to help me with whatever issues i have.....maybe im so nerbous b/c my surgery was done in a differnt state and the state im currently in duznt seem to know much about it......haha idk alot more worrying b/c my belly dropped alot this AM....soooooooooo cant wait till thursdays apt so i can see whats going!!!! :)

I had issues with getting dizzy and such when I didn't eat every few hours, but it didn't happen during labor.  However, I did sneak a few bites of food from my Mom's and Husbands lunches.  I was hungry, so I ate.  Nurses didn't want me to though.
