Helen - thanks for sharing your story. Sorry to hear that it wasn't such a great experience.
I threw up during my caesar too. I think that was almost the worst bit for me because I was so worried that my vomitting would make them slip and cut something they shouldn't, iykwim? It was such a bizarre experience. I remember just feeling so "over it" once Gabby was out and I just kind of zoned out. It truly is bizarre and, tho I didn't necessarily feel pain, it was weird with all the tugging and pulling that was involved.
