Catheter question

Gabriella • Mommy to two baby boys 7/15/18 and 9/22/20, and due May 30th 2024 with baby #3 😊

Having my scheduled c section in about 5 weeks. My last c section I went into labor so before they took me back for the spinal they put that catheter in which was completely painful. So I guess my question would be for planned c section that you didn’t go into labor did they do the spinal tap first then the catheter? Asking because it was so painful to have that catheter inserted and not being numb.
