@autumnjolene, complete honesty, spinal tap for the numbing meds was NOT nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. I did get nauseas and throw up during and after the c-section though so I didn't really hold her at first. Other than that it went well, no pain after the spinal tap. I never went into labor or anything before hand either.
How did everything go for you? I'm currently in this situation and I'm so lost as to when they schedule it and how it all goes. CONGRATULATIONS!!! beautiful baby 💟
