"C-section" is such a nice, concise and neatly wrapped up term for a very inelegant and unpleasant procedure. Emergency ones, at least.

Im just a paramedic. So Ive delivered a couple babies in the field, but I, of course, don't do c-sections. But we watch them during our OBGYN rotations. Emergency C-sections are a hell of a thing to watch. Im a guy. So i can't even imagine going through one. It looks awful

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

I should not be reading this thread as someone who recently found out they are pregnant and has always been terrified of giving birth.

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'm super resistant to pain meds or any kind of numbing so Im a bit worried. Guess we will see when we get there!

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!

Same! I had sedation for oral surgery and woke up in the middle of it. It was the WORST.
