[ Pregnancy ] Open Question : repost. No one actually answered my question. Can some one who's been through a c-section please help?

I am having a c-section on thursday morning, so I have less that 5 days before my second baby is born. I did not have to have a c-section with my first. So I am kind of, no, really nervous and don't know what to expect. So can any one who has been through this kind of explain the process and also tell me how you kept calm and collected even with all the excitement and nervousness?
