If so am i the only one who was terrified and started crying when my legs where completly numb. My heart rate went sky high and i started panicing. Being parysled totally freaked me out. When i seen by baby though it made me forget. All my mates who had cesereans seemed to think there legs being numb was funny. Not me am i the only one who felt like this or is there someone else out there who got scared when there legs got numb.

All three of my children were born c-section. It's not a fun experience. I was so scared the first time because I didn't know what to expect. Feeling the lower half of my body go numb wasn't initially too scary to me, it's when I didn't get the feeling back till a full hour after the normal recovery time that I began to freak out. Some people just take longer to throw off the effects but it really concerned everyone including the staff. All these thoughts run through your head, here you have a new baby, life will never be the same and now you might be paralized. You shouldn't feel badly because you were fearful of the unknown, just normal. Don't let anyone who's been through the procedure try to kid you into thinking otherwise.

No but thanks for scaring me, for when I have mine, I had to have an emergency section last time under general anesetic, and have to have an elective section this time. I was already nervous as I had an ineffective epidural and i'm paranoid this won't work when i'm under the knife, however I suppose I should be happy if my legs are numb it's working.

It basically relies upon on how your discomfort tolerance is. I delight myself in having a very extreme discomfort tolerance, so it extremely wasn't that undesirable for me. they'd have you ever sitting up the nighttime of your ceserean. you'll journey discomfort although. they are going to deliver you homestead with discomfort drugs, alongside with, vicodin, percoset, or per chance codeine. Take them in case you experience the choose. i might want to could say that the worst ingredient become coughin or sneezing. you do not comprehend how oftentimes you take advantage of your abdomen muscle tissue till you've an abdomen surgical procedure. You do favor to take your time with the healing procedure, even the tiniest ingredient might want to reason a significant set lower back. yet heavily, do not sit down round a boo hoo about hurting, it in consumer-friendly words hurts worse once you're taking a seat round then attempt to upward push up. I experienced maximum of my discomfort contained in the morning accurate after waking up. be sure you've your better 0.5 at homestead with you and in the experience that they are no longer attainable locate someone. you is basically no longer waiting to lift some thing larger than your toddler for awhile.

It really common to feel like that, if you are still having negative feelings about it now it may be worth checking out http://www.birthtraumaassociation.org.uk/ they have excellent resources and advice on getting support.
You are not alone childbirth being natural or by section can be an extremely traumatic event and women are just expected to "get over it" as soon as it's done with.

Must say it did freak me out a bit as well, and I am a medical person I knew what was going to happen. Would defiantly plum for a c section over the birthing experience though.

I am so sorry you have had a sad time. You doctor SHOULD have told you he was giving you an epidural, thats what it does, it stops feeling below the insertion, hence you had no pain.
The doctor I am afraid was little more than a prat for not explaining.
I suggest you have a chat with your doctor and get him to write to the hospital. Conversely write to the hospital yourself.
Again I feel for you.

I had one. My nurse anesthetist was great at explaining everything though. My chest got heavy & I felt like I couldn't breath. I told him & he fixed it. The key about all of this is communication. The doctors & nurses don't know if you don't tell them.

I started crying and got all emotional, its still pretty intense and quite uncomfortable and I found it quite overwhelming and stressy - your not alone, giving birth is quite full on however you go about it, there is no easy way out.
