Re: [ozmidwifery] Analgesia post LUSCS

[Belinda Maier]

My girlfriend found after her caesarean that she didn't need any pain relief but  also like you was hassled so much by staff she ended up having some. I havealways wondered if the size of a woman makes a difference to her pain. My friend is particularly skinny.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kate &/or Nick To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 6:49 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Analgesia post LUSCS As someone said, with any pain it varies between people. I had a LSCS and needed no pain relief within 24 hours. Once I was out of bed, I refused all. Not because I had an issue with analgesia, but because I didn't need it. Pain relief was pushed so hard I finally gave up and took some to get them to stop hassling me - and I told them that was why I was taking it. They were happy with that!   Personally, I had more pain and longer recovery from 3rd degree tear in the VBAC than recoving from the c-s!   But every woman, and every c-s is different!   Kate 3.
