I always wondered and I've heard several stories about it but I'd like to know. Is a C-Section painful or what exactly do you feel? I've heard that all you feel is alot of pressure but I've also heard that having a C-Section can be dangerous too. How is it really?

It should not be painful at the time if you are medicated properly, but you would feel a tugging and pressure. It is a MUCH longer and more painful recovery than a natural childbirth. Like any surgery, there is danger involved. Talk to your Dr. if you are concerned.

Go natural if you can at all help it... ALWAYS!
Strange how C sections were not a medical option for years and yet the infant mortality rate was no lower than it is today. I believe that it is both un natural, destroys a woman's body, and is just another unnecessary surgical procedure to charge the insurance company for.
I regret both of mine and yes... It is a very painful recovery process. You are numbed by an epidural during the procedure, but you can feel everything. It's like getting pinched repeatedly by pliers on a spot that is numb.
It is afterward that sucks out loud!

The procedure of a C-section isn't painful...it's the recovery. I was pretty drugged up through the surgery and recovery, so I don't remember a bunch of the pain afterward. I don't remember their being any pressure during the procedure either. Just some movement/jiggling to get my son out (he was breech ... head got stuck) As with any surgery there is some risk. In my case I didn't have much of a choice since he was breech.

No it is not painful at all, except when you are healing but that's not so bad either. There is always a risk in any surgery, but C-sections are quite common and very safe.

i have had two c-sections. And you do feel pressure. you also feel pushing and pulling. During the whole thing its uncomfortable but not painful. After words its really painful. But well worth it.

ANY SURGERY WHERE YOU ARE UNDER ANESTHESIA IS DANGEROUS. A PERSON MAY NOT WAKE UP, MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE REACTION TO THE ANESTHESIA. UNCOMFORTABLE PRESSURE, PAINFUL AFTERWARD, DEPENDS ON YOUR PAIN THRESHOLD.
