Open myomectomy eve terrified...

[ICSIBaby86]

Tomorrow morning I go in for my open myomectomy today I’m in a mess. I’m fighting back the tears because I don’t want to upset or scare my son. I’m petrified something will go wrong, I won’t wake up or il need a hysterectomy or if they find something sinister. I’m worried about waking up in pain. I’ve got so much running through my mind my son is going to his dads for the weekend in an hour, I’ve managed to keep myself busy, making cakes with him and enjoying each others company. As soon as I drop him off I’m going to crumble. I need to pull myself together, I’m hoping they can give me something at the hospital tomorrow morning to calm my nerves 😢😢😢

Aww bless you.

I think fear before ops is very normal, I always worry the worst thing could happen!

I won’t patronise you & say it’ll all be fine but I’m sure you are in safe hands. They will do everything they can to preserve your fertility.

All the best with your surgery hope it goes to plan 🌟 xoxo

You will be fine by the grace of God. Please keep calm, I know it is easier said than done. I had open myomectomy in June 2015 (vertical cut) and very major one, I had complications, but I woke up and recovered really well. This is not to scare you but to give you hope that all will be well.

Hi ICSIBaby86. By the time you read this, your operation will be over with, I hope. Don't worry about your son, as you don't have to pick him up. He can always climb up besides you for a cuddle. Hope your recovery is straightforward. Thinking of you. Diane

Hey Hun

I had this feeling anytime I go under and have been under more times that I would ever want to.

It’s a fairly easy process and you wake up only a little uncomfortable but they administer painkillers before u wake up.

It’s a healing process but managed well only thing I hate is the scar but it’s on the pelvic line so not that bad I guess.

Big hugs u will be fine. I slwas am crying just as they put me under, last time I was abroad and never been so scared on all my life as they wasn’t even talking English
