I feel like I was lied to about the spinal block
Sharp scratch?? Pressure? BEE STING? Have these people ever been stung by a bee before??
This was actually my second c section but my first was an emergency and I have no recollection of the spinal taking place due to the trauma of it and also the fact I was contracting through it anyway.
I consider myself to have a decent pain threshold usually but I was shocked at how painful it was. I actually screamed out in pain at one point and it was totally involuntary. It felt like sharp lasers hitting every single nerve deep in my back and the ‘pressure’ feeling was more like, well, someone shoving an absolutely massive needle into my spinal cord tbh.
Did anyone else feel the same?
