C-sec worry..??

i also had to have an emergency c section. i remember the epidural wasnt bad at all. maybe because i was relieved that the contractions would go away. haha. they shaved the incision area again and after the epi, they prepped the room and let it set in a little bit. then they rolled me down to the or and moved me to the or table. then they put the curtain up by my face and strapped my arms down to the table. they rubbed that orange stuff on my belly to clean it and then i remember they pumped me with more medicine so that i wouldnt feel anything. the dr poked my to see if i felt anything and i didnt so she started to cut. and i felt the cutting (well the pressure) and pulling the baby out was the worst (if you dont remember the unbelievable pressure on your organs and the loss of breath). after the baby was out, they cleaned him off and gave me a peek and took him away. they stitched me up and moved me to another bed and rolled me to recovery where i layed for about an hour or two. then they took me to my room and i went to sleep. the only part that stinks about the section is not being able to move for a few days afterwards and the extended stay in the hospital and not being able to keep the baby in the room because you cant move because of the unbearable pain from the incision. coming home was the worst and the recovery for the next two or three weeks was bad. even now (7 months later) i still get a phantom pain in my incision and it really hurts sometimes (only for a second or two). well, thats my c section from top to bottom, hope all goes well for you. congrats!
