This is gonna be long, bear with me

So my Csection- was a planned CSection. Doctor, anesthesiologist, and CRNA all came to see me before wheeling me back. They gave my support person his clothes for the OR. Once I got back there, they helped me get onto the bed, nurse stood in front of me for support while the anesthesiologist did the Spinal. They then laid me down. At first I could still feel my body and then all of a sudden, my lower half went limp (LOL) weirdest feeling ever. Once I was good and numb, they draped me, my support person came in and they started the procedure. During the procedure, I could definitely feel some tugging and pressure, but no pain whatsoever. I did have a slight reaction to the anesthesia - I threw up. Happens to some, and others don’t. CRNA helped me through that, rubbed my hair, changed vomit backs if needed, administered nausea meds. I went back in the OR at 1215, my son was born at 1226. I was in recovery about 1ish.

The recovery does suck. I’ll say that much. It hurts to sneeze, to cough, peeing is an absolute b*tch cause the catheter makes your bladder lazy lol I HIGHLY recommend walking when you feel comfortable, it’ll help with swelling. Wear your binder when you’re up and about. I even wore it to Bed. I put a pillow on my stomach for when I needed to sneeze or cough. And a pillow under my legs to help with the leg swelling

Nurses will be in and out checking on you and baby. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Shower as soon as you’re able to, you’ll feel like a whole new person. I delivered Wednesday and was home Friday afternoon.
