I too was a c sect mum and a FTM as well, honestly I didn't feel a single thing even though it was an emergency c sect cause water bag burst 19 days before my scheduled c sect. No labour pain also. Everything was over in 4 hours, incl taking a shower, pack my hospital bag slowly, wait for hubby to rush back from ofc. I was already overwhelmed when we were at the hospital waiting to be checked, changed, wheeled in. Thank god for the wonderful team at Mt A, everything was beautifully done. No pain, just pure happiness, especially when I first held my baby and said hi.
Talking about the future worries, I had plenty. Everyday before I gave birth I worried about parenting issues, financial issues, relationship with in laws and husband issues, whether I should go back to work, trying to be positive, everything I worry about or planned, was different after birth, some good some bad.
I think most importantly, have faith and trust that you will be a good mummy, and a wife, and enjoy the rest of the journey.
