I had woken up during my c-section, with my second son. This traumatized me, and to this day, I hate having to go through surgery, where they put me under.
The doctor explained to me that they had given me two different types of drugs for the surgery. One was to put me out, and the other was a muscle relaxer. Well, the drug to put me out, wore off quicker, and I was lying there, fully awake, as they were stitching me up, and I could feel everything! I was screaming and trying to move, and nothing happened. I could hear the doctors, nurses, the machines behind me, and I tell you, I fought long and hard to get someone's attention, just to feel a crushing feeling on my chest. My heart quit beating, and there was this pressure in my chest. I screamed, to myself, to "BREATHE!! BREATHE!!" and I told myself this, over and over, and I felt a tube go down my throat, and this cold air blowing in, and I started breathing again. This alarm went off, and I could hear them shuffling around! Scary!

I've heard it can be quite traumatic and hard to get over.
You should talk to someone about it

That was really a bad experience. You shouldn't have felt anything at all during the surgery. Not the fault of your OB but the anesthetist. Take it from here.

Nope, i opt to finish surgical operation in my sleep :D Sorry, it turned right into a foul pun. yet curiously, it truly is quite common for human beings to awaken in minor surgical procedures (maximum folk don't have a tendency to awaken with me because they have been in a vehicle coincidence or stabbed). even with the undeniable fact that, one in each and every of my acquaintances has advised me he did awaken in surgical operation and felt discomfort at the same time as they stapled him decrease back at the same time. He reported it became like being shot, yet he couldn't bodily bypass.

You are supposed to be awake during a cesarean section, but you shouldn't feel any pain.
