I ended up having a c section because my son was two weeks over due and had never dropped into the birth canal soo drs said induction most likely wouldnt be successful. Overall it wasnt too bad. I was very nervous going into the or so they gave me medicine to calm me. The spinal block didnt hurt at all, just felt a little burning. During the procedure ifelt noo pain. I could feel pressure but that was it and within minutes my son was out. I really doo advise you to take the time needed to heal. I went back to school 5 days after and was doing much more than i should have so my cut got infected and started slightly coming open twice . it took nearly 3 months too completely heal.

It really rare that,  that happens first off. Second the anesthesia dr wasn't listening to me and said its normal to feel pressure but I kept telling him it hurt. After about 5 minutes I went numb again but I felt them stitching me. When I got to recovery they noticed my epidural catheter actually fell out, they said its like a 2 in every 2000 women that happens too. So DO NOT think it'll happen to you. They said it must of happen during the commotion of rushing me from my l&d room to the or

I had an emergency one with my son 6 years ago. I labored for 33 hours & only dilated to 4cm & his hr kept dipping. That was hard to recover from, my body was already exhausted & stressed so the surgery just added too it. And during the surgery my epidural stopped working so for about 20 minutes I felt everything . With my second it was planned at 39 weeks, I did have a panic attack right when they were ready to bring me to the OR but they gave me a small dose of Valium to calm me down. It was faster than I thought and I was up walking within 3 hours of my spinal wearing off. I did have extreme shoulder pains from the gas that was horrible, I was almost fully healed in about 3-4 weeks. I'm having my final one in July and praying its smooth also!

Well I ended up having an emergency c section because during labor my sons heart rate kept dropping very low and then would get very high and he was in distress so I went in to the operation room and it sucked because I was at an 8 and my contractions were extreme. They tried to re connect my epidural and it wouldn't work so they had to put me to sleep and the next thing I knew I was holding my baby in my arms. It really wasn't bad at all but then again I was asleep for it. The only bad part was the day after I couldn't move around but with all the pain pills it was fine. Now two days later I'm at home. All I suggest is you have someone with you at all times after because its hard to take care of baby when you can't really get up and move about how you would like to
