Has anyone had a ceaseran? Im more worried about the cather hurting? Any info would be helpful.?



Answers:
I didn't have a c-section, I had other surgery and had a catheter when I woke up. They took it out and I couldn't pee by myself so they put it back in and it didn't hurt at all.

ask them to put it in after you get the anesthesia. We've done that sometimes at the hospital I used to work at.
Do you mena catheter? If so don't be worried about that you usually have you epidural before they do cath, or at least I did.
The catheter hurts momentarily when they take it out, they ususally put in in right after the epidural so you are numb. Its no big deal. The incision, however, hurts like a bee-atch. Good luck!
Yes the catheter does hurt or at least feel uncomfortable. Ask them to put it in after you get the pain killers.then you don't feel a thing. It takes a while to heal after a c-section but your period is much lighter. My wound reopened after my 2nd child because I walked around like I was fine so give yourself time to heal.
I had 2, 27 and 30 years ago! C-sections are major surgery. Catheter? Dont remember a problem with that. Just remember this:: do what the doc says: dont do ANY housework, don't lift, don't drive, don't have sex for 6 weeks. I did all those things and I got an incisional hernia with my first and ended up having to have it repaired just a few years ago. Take care of yourself!
I've never had one but I've sure been there when they've been performed. Most nurses are skilled Foley catheter placement with very little or no pain (more like discomfort) but if you are worried you can request that it be inserted after anesthesia. Actually, after you get your pre-meds, you may not even care and won't feel it anyway. Speak to your OB about your concerns and see what can be arranged to accomodate you.
you better be more worried about the soreness of the incision after the fact. i was already numb when they inserted the cathe.
take easy when you get home
I have had 2 C sections and 1 kidney stone (3 cathetors). The cathetor has never hurt going in and was only uncomfortable coming out once.

The only painful part of a C section is the recovery. The only advice I would give you is start practicing how to sit, stand, and get into bed without using your stomach muscles. Try to develop your thigh muscles so they alone bring you up from sitting and down from sitting. Yoga was great for that for me. Really learn how to isolate your muscles.

Try to figure out how you will be able to get into and out of bed, by yourself, when you can't use your stomach muscles to do it. It is not easy, but there are ways. I found putting lots of pillows at the headboard, getting into bed on my hands and knees, and then laying down on my side against the pillows and using my hands to get on my back was the best method. Work to see what works best for you.
