yeah babies are so worth it
I'm not sure if it has to hurt like hell or not maybe i have low pain threshold or perhaps because of the embarassment of it all it hurt more to me ...i don't know. I didn't want to go under cos DS was quite young at the time and i was BF so thats why i opted for the banding. (although the sound of it was a real turn off)
It is gone now and according to my DR it is supposed to drop off a few day later when you use your bowels and you don't even notice it.
the pain is certainly no where near as bad as contractions maybe my first description was a bit dramatic lol! It certainly hurts and is uncomfortable but as i said i was really embarassed about it all so maybe thats why i remember thinking how much i hurts.
