Having had gone through 3 c-sections, I have lots of OT stories to tell.\u00a0 I shall start with stories related to me.\u00a0 For all 3 of my c-sections, I had spinal cord anesthetic administered, which\u00a0caused the lower part of my body to be numb and I was conscious throughout the surgery.\u00a0The side\u00a0effects of the\u00a0spinal\u00a0cord anesthetic were nauseous feeling, difficulty in breathing, headache, \u00a0itchiness all over the body and shivering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For my 1st c-section, I had really bad itchiness all over my body, esp. on my face which lasted for 2 days.\u00a0 For my 2nd c-section, I had headache which lasted for weeks.\u00a0 For my 3rd c-section, I had really really bad shivering after the c-section.\u00a0 After I was wheeled out of the OT and left at the recuperation bay outside the OT, my body\u00a0was trembling profusely. \u00a0I could feel that it was almost in a state of convulsion.\u00a0 My teeth were chattering until my jaw hurt and my head was even shaking as a result of the terrible trembling.\u00a0 Suddenly, I felt as if I could not breathe and asked for an oxygen mask. \u00a0I was really shocked and scared but the nurses and my anesthesiologist were so blase about the whole thing.<\/p>\n
