Like sterla, I too had an emergency c-section - and while I felt some of the tugging and pulling, it was definitely worth it in the end (Not that you didn't know that already ) The thing that got me was when they (the guy who went in and got DS out) said 'You may feel a bit of nausea right...about...now' and I did, and felt faint. But it lasted for no more than 20 seconds.
