What They Don’t Tell You...
The Anticipation... First, you wait for the arrival, nervous out of your mind. You don’t know what to expect. They load you with all information but it’s a lot to take in. But it’s alright, motherhood is a lot to take in :). They wheel you back to a cold room where you sit on the table while they talk making sure everything is okay and prepping you, then you sit on the bed with your feet on a chair while they find the best place to insert the needle. With your head to your chest, it’s a little uncomfortable but it’ll be over before you know it. You're probably freaking out by now hoping everything will go well. Just try and relax. Then you lay down as they make sure you can’t feel a thing. If you can’t feel your legs it’s probably done right haha. Then they put a drape in front of your face but if you look close at the light you can see it. They cut a layer of you and remove what they need to get to the baby. It just feels like tugging, not painful but weird. Then once there, get ready, they push on your belly to pull her out. While she’s coming out, the pressure almost feels like the wind knocked out of you for a second, then everything’s fine. Then you get to see her. They tell you look up and she’s there! Then they clean her up while you're getting layers of stitches you feel like it’s taking hours. But remember it’s layers, they have to stitch up and put everything back. So when you are healing try not to laugh, cough, or sneeze because it’s a whole world of pain. Then you're off to your room to heal :).
