Did it hurt ?

Question

Can y’all tell me exactly what you guys felt during your c-section!!? How numb were y’all and do they always put baby skin to skin after they’re born, ALSO we’re you drugged up or did they only do the anesthesia

Answer

I felt pressure and wiggling but no pain at all during it.

Answer

I had planned for a vaginal birth that didn’t work out, I ended having to be put to sleep because I felt them cutting.

Answer

I felt pressure but it didn't hurt. We did skin to skin after and I didn't feel too drugged up!

Answer

With my first I was very drugged up because I had just went through 36 hours of labour. From my chest down I was numb. All I felt during the section was tugging. As soon as baby was out they placed him against my face for me to kiss and then they took him to clean and weigh. They brought him back right away and we did chest to chest until we went to the recovery room. In there I got to continue chest to chest and then feed baby.
With my second it was a planned section so it was just the spinal at first. Again from chest down I was numb and all I felt was the tugging. I started to bleed out really bad so they had to drug me. As soon as baby was out they did the same thing. Let me kiss her and then they took her to clean and weigh and then brought her back to me to do chest to chest again. 
The second time was a much better experience. I was way more awake and alert then I was with my first.

Answer

No pain but a lot of pulling and pressure. It was a very strange sensation. You don’t get drugged up per se but for me it felt almost out of body. My girlfriends had the same experience. If baby checks out you get to do skin to skin. Any respit issues or anything like that they get taken to the nicu asap. It takes about 90 minutes for them to close each layer, get you into the pacu and clear you for your rooming.

Answer

I felt lots of tugging. I was super drugged up.. they put baby on my for a quick moment but I wasn’t able to move my arms so it sucked. I hated it. I’m really hoping for a vbac. Recovery sucked.

Answer

I was under general anesthesia, so I felt and was aware of nothing. My husband did skin to skin as soon as our son was cleared (needed cpap for a bit first).

Answer

No pain but alot of pulsing, it was sooo strange I had an epidural they showed me her when they pulled her out. Then took her to be washed and weighed then gave her to my husband and he put her to my face. I started have really bad anxiety so they had to put me out so no skin to skin until later. I'm prego again so it will be a planned c section this time.

Answer

Tugging, pulling, some pain. No skin to skin after, they let me see her for all of 10 seconds then took her to nursery so they could get me patched up. I didn’t even know skin to skin was an option or I would have requested it.

Answer

Not drugged at all! Didn’t feel a thing and got to do skin to skin. Thankfully it was planned and plan to do the same with my second who is coming in 7 weeks! :)
