am in total agony, am not being a wimp I promise - produced dc2 & 3 without pain relief - but this is much worse

can the aftermath be so painful or am i a disillusioned wuss?

lol

poor you

sometimes it does feel like they have gone into your womb, found the secret door upwards and come out somewhere in your throat

I don't think it's unusual to cramp afterwards, I often do, especially as have retroverted uterus.

Were they looking at your ovaries? I always find those internal scans quite deep.

lol at secret door through to your throat - but soooo true.

it's like bad period pains, but fortunately without the period
