Do you still feel all the pulling and tugging with the spinal block? I'm having a RCS and am curious. With the epidural I felt the pulling and tugging and it was awful I was also exhausted after a long labor and 2 hours of pushing so maybe that made things worst?
Re: Spinal block?
I have had three csections and I felt the tuggy and pulling with each.

I felt a lot of tugging and pulling, but most of it was the surgeons putting my liver back in place (my twins severely displaced my liver). I had an epidural that did not work for the first 30 hours, pushed for 2 and was finally given a spinal before my C-section.
The only thing that was bad about having a spinal is it can make you think you aren't breathing. I had childhood asthma and it brought back a lot of bad memories. I panicked until they sat me up and I could feel myself breathing again.
