They put mine in after the spinal and in theatre. I didn't feel a thing. The catheder is attached to a bag which sits on the side of your hospital bed but honestly........I never saw it because it only stays in for 24 hours max and then they get you up and showered. During those first 24 hours you are on pain killers and for a chunk of the time can't sit up and are mostly flat. It was a big concern to me about my CS but it was really no big deal.
Thank you ! That makes heaps of sense that they would do it after a spinal and in theatre .
It's been really good reading postive advice as I personally have been worried about it all, a lot !
Another question .. if your flat on your back and are mostly flat and on strong painkillers : how can you breastfeed and if not breastfeeding, can you hold your baby ?
