c-section and anxiety meds

carabshirley

I am scheduled for a c-section for a breech baby on May 11th and I am TERRIFIED!  I spoke with one of the OB's at my practice today about my anxiety and asked if I could get something for anxiety prior to having the spinal and she said no due to fear of the baby not being able to breathe?  I have heard from others that they were given anxiety meds so I wanted to see if anyone here was given anxiety meds prior to the c-section and if there was any effect on the baby?  I just don't think I will be able to handle it without them!
