@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ They brought my husband Joe in at this point, and he was on my side of the curta
I was nervously crying as he was telling me the facts and I was trying to focus on that, and the anesthesiologist leaned in to say, "hey, I know you're nervous, but if it helps, they actually cut you open already, they already started, and you felt nothing." Which did help! But then the PRESSURE began.
You don't feel pain, but whew, you feel a WEIGHT on your chest like no other. It felt like someone was sitting on me and shaking me, and I was struggling to breathe. The doctors said it was because the muscles around my lungs were numb, so I had to do extra work there. All I could really see were blood splatters (wee) on the curtain, and I was just focusing on breathing as much as I can while Joe talked to me.

The procedure's total time was pretty fast, I think it was less than a half hour from epidural to baby exit, but it felt way longer. There was a point where I heard the baby cry behind the curtain, but I was still feeling pressure, and the doctors then gave me valium which knocked me out. Joe at that point was able to take pictures of the baby and hold her (he said he accidentally took a quick glance and saw way too many of my organs out as they were about to stitch me back up, be careful of that), and the next thing I knew I was being wheeled into the post-op room seeing him give the baby to me. I admit I was fairly loopy from the drugs for a couple hours after that, so I don't fully remember what happened besides skin-to-skin time and being hooked up to some machines for monitoring.
