How does a c-section feel like? Please share your experiences.

Had an emergency c-section after laboring for 15 hours. My water broke during my routine checkup. I was 1-2cm at that time. Around 8cm dilated my baby's heart almost stopped. We tried to push however the baby is no longer responding. My ob talked to my hubby quickly for c section and had it done right away. It was a miraculous experience. It was painful but the moment that you see your little one, I'll definitely go to the same experience again just to make that precious moment happen again. The best that ever happened to me. I won't trade it regardless of the pain.
