I do sympathies leasha, however i have been lucky NOT to have an emergency c section. I had a spinal and an epidural in so i could administer my own pain relief after delivery. Also fluid bag and the cathader. Im so over cathaders it now doesnt bother me heck saves me getting up to go toilet as the first time ya get up OH MY GOODNESS SO PAINFUL!!!
Once in hospital after an op for a prostier repair and even for c section before iv had nurses watch me do a poo and collect it for specimen thats really oh my not so great put it that way! Ive also been woken in hospital with out warning with some random nurse with there finger up me butt giving me a suppository for pain. Thats happened over two ops but quite a few times over the stay in hospital its really is an invasion hey hello my a**!!!
"bed goes up, bed goes down" - I was also hooked up to drips and monitors but the midwives kept me upright in the bed-that-converts-to-chair thingy, and even let me adjust it to the most comfy possie for me! In fact one of the docs insisted that I be as upright as possible to 'let gravity help get that baby out" (in her own words!) So I think that in that respect I was very lucky!
My 1st ,I had the internal foetal monitor attached to his head so I had the catheter and wasn't allowed to get up sit up or move! Even though I was 27 when I had my 1st, they treated me like a know-nothing teenage mum (I'm not saying young mums don't know anything, just that's that how I felt) ... doesn't help that I look young (or did at the time)
