I had ovarian cancer surgery in 2019. hurt so bad, was on bedrest and couldnt move much for 1 month+.
I had a csect 2 weeks ago. procedure all in all took 1-2h. anaesthesia was given via spine, first 2 attempts failed (felt electric shock, uncomfortable but no pain), 3rd attempt was good. all 3 jabs did not hurt, same pain as covid vaccine.
when the doctor snip snip the skin, felt like nail clipper. when they want to take baby out, felt big pressure on abdomen.
post surgery didn’t feel much until 3rd day. same pain as ovarian cancer surgery but once I took the painkiller, did not feel pain. this is the key player. my prev surgery I didn’t take painkiller.
after painkiller, I can walk and do chores almost as normal (but I try my best not to).
most painful thing during the whole csect birth experience is the IV drip cannula insertion in the ward :)
so if you don’t want to feel pain, take the prescribed medicine with painkillers religiously
