Bigtoes:
Don’t need to worry about the surgery, the feeling is not as scary as you think
for me, I chose not to be too nervous, cos I noe that if I am too nervous, the whole process is going to be very draggy and nightmarish to me..
Pain: My threshold for pain is higher, so when the LA was injected before the epidural, I was already feeling slight numb. The epidural needle was in and out within a few seconds
Not painful at all, just an ant bite…
Awake: I was actually feeling groggy throughout the surgery, and before I knew it, I was only feeling the doctor pressing on my tummy, and then the baby’s cries could be heard so loud! That was when I was more awake, but most of the time, I was feeling sleepy!!
Numbness: Yup yup, the feeling was really like “paralysed” from high waist down to the legs. The LA asked me to try move my legs, and I could not…then they will start the surgery for you. I felt really assured throughout the surgery, hence to me, the whole process was wonderful!
Nothing beats the feeling of carrying your baby in your hands the moment she is born…if I was given a choice again, I would definitely choose epi over GA for sure…
Hope these helps to make you feel more excited to see ur baby soon
My gyane is really very good with stitches, my wound does not really hurt that much after the 3rd day. Just the reovery will be longer...and coughing is painful. For those who are goig for c-sect, i suggest u get the binder to wrap over ur wound. IT does great wonder to me, and reduced the pain from the wound by a good deal.
