Spinal was awful for me just because I didn't like the feeling of not being able to move at all lol i just felt paralyzed but, I'd prefer that than to feel them cutting me open lol. I didn't feel much pressure either honeslty
They will do a pinch test and pinch u with a clamp that would usually hurt so bad after they do ur spinal to make sure u can’t feel anything and they numb u before they do the full spinal block it only hurts hours later when ur pain meds ware off
No just a lot of pressure they give you a spinal that numbs you from the chest down or they completely put you to sleep in some cases I had one with my first and having one with this pregnancy
