if I get a c-section I wont get any pain meds...im scared!

Since I am on subutex while pregnant my doctor told me that if I have to have a c-section that I won't be able to recieve any pain meds for after the surgery. Im very nervous because that is a major surgery.  And taking care of a newborn on top of that. I want to know what I can do in case this happens to me? Anyone been through this?

They had touched my stomach and it hurt so bad I refused to let them touch me again!

The major issue was tho, at first I was in EXCRUCIATING pain (like I had been given nothing) because whatever they gave me was not strong enough compared to my tolerance to pain killers, once they got it right it worked. But at first I refused to try and walk. It was so painful (DON'T COUGH or laugh etc) but I got thru it and if u have a c section u can too!

That's messed up u need a new doctor, I had my son 2 years ago (my ob/gyn was my sub dr as well) and I had a c section, they gave me perks and when it wasn't strong enough they gave me dillaudid (look it up, strong pain killer) and after I said I didn't need it anymore that I wasn't in pain, they put me back on the sub

Oh wait, yeah I looked up what that was, that makes sense why they wouldn't, they're just looking out for you I'm guessing.

Why wouldn't they give you paid meds?? I was given a bottle of percoset after my sons birth and it got rid of all the pain, I was doing laundry and dishes soon as we got home from the hospital.
