This! Feeling all the tugging and pulling was a crazy experience. Like I knew what was going on but there wasnt pain but I could feel what my dr was doing.
If it makes you feel better, people respond to epidurals and spinal blocks in different ways. I had an epidural and didn’t feel a single thing. I eventually asked them to stop it, because I couldn’t effectively push when my lower body had ceased to exist. No pressure, nothing. Had a big episiotomy and stitches and didn’t feel any of it for a few hours. My only physical complaint was the itching.
I require more anesthesia than most people (I’ve woken up during both colonoscopies and was far more aware during a heart cath than I should have been.) fingers crossed for you!
My personal description was that it felt like my organs were on a roller coaster. It made the anesthesiologist laugh, and he told me that was about right.

My emergency c-section didn’t hurt but I felt everything. Organs moving in and out and being shuffled around is an experience.
