Nope. Definately overweight here. I wonder whether labouring helps: my memory is of the labour pain not the c-s pain! Perhaps if you have laboured long and hard the c-s pain doesn't seem so hige? Or maybe it's just different people manage pain differently!   Kate ----- Original Message ----- From: Belinda Maier To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Analgesia post LUSCS 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.
