I was so antsy the night before that i jumped out of bed a minute before the alarm went off...but by the time we got to the hospital it turned into nervousness and i ended up having a panic attack. the last 15 minutes before i went into surgery seemed to take forever but i had calmed down and was ready once again....i got into the surgery room and they had me sit on this little table for my spinal...they said you'll feel a pinch and a burn and they gave me the first shot of local anesthesia...then they said i would feel pressure and a possible shock in one of my legs but to let them know what i felt...so they started with the spinal needle and i felt this really bad pressure in my left hip...they ended up going back and forth with the needle and repoking me a few times before they got it...they said that my spinal column is really tight...all i remember is getting hot and nauseous everytime they tried and how bad it hurt when they'd hit something...that was the horrible part...well...one of them...after that i started throwing up and throwing up and throwing up and crying...they gave me 2 different kinds of anti nausea meds and i still threw up...i threw up the entire time they was doing the surgery...but bc i dont want this whole thing to seem like a negative experience i have to tell ya that my son kicked from the time i got up to *literally* the time they pulled him out of my belly!!! i remember laughing and pointing it out to everyone that he was kicking still as they pulled him out...my fiance actually stood up and got a full face view of my open belly and his son ...he said the umbilical cord looked "raw" im guessing that means gross right?!?!?! lol he didnt like that view...but i guess he could stomach my belly all opened up...after my son and fiance left the room i got to hear the doctors whistling and talking a beauty and the beast...they told me to try to nap but i couldnt and i was still throwing up...i tried to relax but i just couldnt...it seemed like the surgery took forever but i ended up in recovery soon enough and my family came in and i started feeling a little bit better...i got to breastfeed although now he's not wanting to take it like he did the first few days....i spent 3 days in the hospital and by the 3rd day i was begging my doctor to go home....i feel great...as great as you can feel...i dont feel the need to medicate for the pain like im prescribed...i can actually take 1 pill and go for awhile after its due it again before taking another one...i do feel like a used punching bag from them pushing down on my belly to get him out and my back is bruised and sore from the spinal..but im soooo entirely in heaven in the meantime...i got dissolvable stitches and i have to wear a maternity pad on the incision to keep it dry and from sticking together *bc of all the tape gunk that takes forever to get off* i am a little sore and tender right there but im happy...oh im suffering from Post Partum Depression...i cry over everything!!!! i know its normal and all but i feel kinda ashamed of it....everyone keeps telling me its alright and it will be over soon...i can only pray its over ASAP bc i cant keep crying over nothing...i literally laugh and cry at the same time!!! its not fun...but being a mommy is!!! oh and i still dont regret my tubal...no more babies for me!!! as much as i love my kids...pregnancy is not for me...i guess im just not that tolerant of the pain...
