C section.
Hi Mummies,anyone had done c sec at NUH,how was it? Im feeling nervous,scared and my anxiety is bad.. Especially when i lay down i feel my chest is blocked.
Not nuh but kkh. And yes youll feel very scared and anxious when they wheel you to the operating theatre. I was surprised there were alot of people in the OT. Mine epidural failed cs i can still feel when they test poke me. So had to do spinal anaesthesia. Thank god it worked, didnt feel anything but! Heads up msot cases they will push oush on your chest, ribs area to push baby out! It was so so rough i really couldnt breathe during that time. Baby out within 30 mins or so. And i kept puking after baby out. Youll be put under observation ward for 1hour then wheeled to ward. You will feel numb the first few hours and dont panic when you cannot move your leg at all. Itll wear off the next day. Mine pain started like few hrs after wheeled back to ward. Asked for pain killer. Honestly, the pain was 10/10 for me. I have low pain tolerance and it was the worst. Esp when they ask to walk the next day. The pain is beyond words. Use a binder, adjust your bed height all the way to the lowest and your bed to almost sittiing position then slolwy move and get off bed. The first walk is super super painful
