I've had two c-sections, one with an epidural and one with a spinal block. With both of them I felt a little bit of tugging but not much, you will be distracted by the others in the theatre. When they sew you up you will most likely be cuddling your new baby and not have any idea what is going on. I know my full attention was on my newborns and it was only when they were taken away from me that I noticed what they were doing. Even then the Drs and nurses were talking to me and joking so I stayed pretty relaxed. I am normally a really stresser and get very anxious and I was fine in both proceedures.

It isn't that bad, and even if it is a c-section it such a lovely sound to hear the first cry of your baby when it comes out. Let me know if you want any more info. HTH
