I had suppository pain killers straight after my section....is that not the norm in the UK?

I had one after my emergency section, but not after my planned one However I was offered one when I was crying so much after Dylan got taken away and my epi was wearing off but I refused

What I dread is a c-section awake next time.. _pale_ I wonder on what basis I could get the wake-me-up-when-it's-all-over option again.. :cool:

Ya know, I always said "wake-me-up-when-it's-all-over".. I didn't actually mean it! :rolleyes:

I should have had GA with the first, but I was determined to see her being born, but then after Jas was born I passed out anyway, so dont really remember that much about it !!
I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I loved every minute of my planned section, it was so relaxed, music was playing, the nurses were joking with me and Chris and I got to hold Dylan for over 4 minutes after he was born and then Chris got him In comparison to Jasmines birth, it was heaven !!

Oh and I had suppositrys both times, actually thought they were quite good for pain, but the first time when mw explained 'it just goes in your bottom' i did assume she meant injection so was a bit shocked lol!!!!!!

I'm not very good with the proper words, but my sister was awake during her last c-section. But the first was an emergency so wasn't awake then i don't think. I'm not very clued up on c-sections! Could someone explain a bit for me?

I wish when they stitched me up downstairs i wasn't awake lol.... blooming hurt more then the birth itself!!

keely.

you dont have to be put out for an emergency one, but it really does depend on the reason for the section. Generally the epidural or spinal is given so that you are completely numb from the waist down but still have full control of your upper half. What else would you like to know ?? I have had 2 !!

Evening, gonna be really rude and not even attempt to go back a whole day, and I have no idea what to add to painkillers up the bum!!!

My c/section was a relative emergency one - it would have happened sooner but I'd had lunch and they had to wait six hours post-food before they could give me the appropriate anaesthetic! I only had a spinal block, not a GA. The best thing for me was that I walked into the operating theatre, and within 10 minutes of walking in, Andrew was safely out of my body and in the medics' care. But it did seem all a little surreal. And the anaesthetists' jokes, although they did distract me, were really bad :rotfl:

It's nothing to be proud of, but out of curiousity, am I the only one here to have had a GA for a c-section?

I had an epidural before my emergency section - felt nothing but a bit of weird rummaging in my insides - but they were in and she was crying before I realised they'd started. TBH I was debating yelling at them to hurry it all up because she was in distress and they were clearly just faffing about :rotfl:

Me too JM - a bit of a shock!

Oh I remember what I was going to say... My Hubby is one of those that needs a bit of 'me time' when he gets in... By which time I'm desperate to hand responsibilty over to him... I keep telling him his me time is the 90min bus journey home but he won't have it... I envy him that 90mins alone sitting with nothing to do sometimes... :rolleyes:
