Jennifer, Oh your poor friend. That must have been such a rare occurance. Oh and I think it might be called a bicornate uterus or something like that???
Yes my recovery was virtually painless too and I also credit my Ob for that. Apparently if your Ob is one of the ones who actually takes your uterus out of the abdominal cavity to suture it you're much more likely to be in more discomfort afterwards - makes sense.

Hmmm, you really want me to research and explain the details of administering a spinal block or epi or even a GA as well???
