Hi!
Section wasn't as awful as I was expecting, but it was t the best thing I've ever been through.
Epidural was very uncomfortable going in. Lots of popping sensations and soreness. I cried like a baby. It hurt, but not as much as last time.
Section was ok, but I started vomiting on the table. Never a nice experience to vomit stomach bile when you are numb from your chest down. I also felt like I couldn't breathe, my chest was tight and heavy and my shoulders felt like they were being pinned down. I was in a state of distress the whole time.
Felt strong tugging and pulling, was rocked around all over the shop, but thankfully I felt no pain this time. It seemed to go on forever though.
Anyway, that was at 12pm yesterday. The recovery room was ace, large cubicle, I stayed until I was moved to the postnatal ward at 7pm. Two berth rooms seem to be the norm so lots of privacy at leadt. They are actually pretty good at the meds, I am on quite a cocktail!
Got up at 8 this morning. I was so nervous as the pain of first standing made me pass out after my first section, but this was ok. I remembered to keep trying to shift positions in bed from when I could feel my legs again and I am sure that helped.
Only pain I have is soreness in the scar itself which is manageable.
My baby girl is utterly gorgeous and after a bit of a false start, she is bf beautifully.
You couldn't pay me all he money in the world to go through it again though, so she is the last!
