3. Spinal anaesthesia

When I heard that the anaesthesia used on my cesarean would be applied by an injection on my back, I was really scared!
Surprisingly, it was quick and it didn't hurt more than any regular injection. Maybe I was lucky to have a great professional with me,  I remember she was very friendly as well.
To check if it was working, just a minute or so later, they asked me to touch my belly - it was really weird, it felt like I was touching plastic, and not my own skin!
With the cesarean itself, I didn't feel any pain. But I could feel everything they were doing to me, which was a bit odd. It all lasted about 20 minutes and seeing my baby for the first time was amazing and faster than I imagined!
