I did still feel some pain (I don't think it was inserted 100% correctly), but I'm grateful for that - if I hadn't been able to feel anything, I wouldn't have known when to push. I reckon I would've ended up with a c/s otherwise.

Other things I wasn't fond of:
- I got the shakes big time. I admit I found it amusing at times though
- I was so drugged out, I fell asleep after Milly was born, and stayed pretty out of it for a few hours. Not only did I miss most of her first feed, she wasn't attached properly and damaged my left nipple. It only just started feeling better on Wednesday.
- They tried to do directed pushing with me, but for the most part I pushed when I felt the need and just extended that a few seconds longer.
- I've been having some back pain, which apparently is a common effect.
