During anesthesia, the needle is thick, so pregnant women need to lie on their side and curl up, and then inject anesthetic into the spine for about 5 minutes to slowly exert the anesthetic effect, which usually lasts for 2-3 hours.
Anesthetics are generally not particularly painful, but it depends on the physique and feelings of pregnant women. Some pregnant women say that anesthesia is painless, but they feel sore; Some pregnant women said that only the moment of needle puncture was a little painful and felt very uncomfortable; Some pregnant women also said that it is very painful to play anesthetic. Generally speaking, there is less pain and severe pain. As long as pregnant women are not nervous or afraid, they will generally go smoothly.
Some pregnant women need general anesthesia. General anesthesia adopts intravenous injection and nasal inhalation, and there is no pain during general anesthesia.
Although pregnant mothers all know the benefits of natural delivery, in reality, many pregnant mothers still have to switch to caesarean section, thinking that their stomachs will be cut open, and then they have to take a long anesthesia needle, saying that they are not afraid of fake, but there is nothing they can do for the safe birth of their babies.

I'm a caesarean section, mom. At that time, when I was under anesthesia, the doctor wouldn't let me see the anesthesia needle. I thought it was just an ordinary needle, just like an injection needle. However, when the doctor gave me this potbellied shrimp anesthetic, I could still feel that the needle was very long. I can feel it piercing my skin and then piercing the tissue in my body. A small stream of water flowed into my body. I feel a little cold, although it doesn't hurt, but the feeling of acupuncture breaking my body is clear.

Afterwards, the anesthesiologist showed me the anesthesia needle, which strengthened my judgment. The needle is very long, much longer and thicker than the needle distributed by the nurse, almost 10 cm, and the thickness is close to that of mutton kebabs. It looks really scary. The doctor explained to me that the anesthesia needle had to pass through the skin of the parturient, then through the thick subcutaneous fat of the parturient, then through the space between the spines, and then through the subarachnoid space, where anesthesia was completed. Therefore, if the length of the needle is not enough, too thin and too soft, anesthesia cannot be successfully completed.
Moreover, compared with the pain of postpartum wounds, the pain of uterine contraction needles, and the pain of postpartum nurses pressing their stomachs to discharge blood stasis, caesarean section anesthesia is actually like being bitten by mosquitoes, which is really painless. When playing anesthetic, mother must cooperate with the doctor, don't move, bend her body as much as possible, so that her spine can be fully opened, and it will be easier for the doctor to play anesthetic.
As we all know, caesarean section is a major operation, and anesthesia is one of the important links that caesarean section must go through. In order to alleviate the pain of patients, anesthetics are usually injected before operation, so that patients can operate without pain. Therefore, on the one hand, anesthetics can help parturient relieve pain, on the other hand, it is also convenient for normal operation. If there is no anesthetic, it is conceivable that it is very painful to have a baby without a stomach, and the average person can't stand it. The unbearable pain will definitely affect the operation. Some people say that anesthesia will stop the pain after caesarean section. Don't forget that the duration of anesthesia is limited, and the efficacy will disappear after a period of time. The incision of caesarean section after anesthesia is also very painful, which is also a great test for people's psychological and physical endurance.
Does it hurt to play anesthetic before caesarean section? I remember that before caesarean section, a little nurse prepared my skin and inserted a catheter in the ward. After the doctor asked my family to sign the consent form for operation, I was pushed into the operating room. The space in the operating room is still very large. An anesthesiologist and two assistants are waiting to inject me with anesthetic. The anesthesiologist told me to unbutton my shirt and lie down on my side. He injected anesthetic from his spine. I saw the anesthesiologist holding a long needle and tube. The anesthesiologist told me to give me spinal epidural anesthesia, so I don't have to be afraid. It will be injected soon. I felt something sharp stab into my waist and spine. Although the anesthetic needle looked terrible, I didn't feel any pain when I injected it, and it soon ended. Then the anesthesiologist told me to lie flat, and the anesthesiologist pinched me to see if it hurt. He told me that this anesthesia was semi-anesthesia, because I didn't feel pain below the chest, but I was conscious above my head, which means I was conscious and people were awake. Then my assistant gave me an infusion, and the chief surgeon, Director Liu, began to operate on me. I really didn't feel any pain during the operation, and my mind was very clear. I can only feel and hear the sound of a knife. The operation ended in about 45 minutes, and I gave birth to a baby girl by caesarean section.
The operation was a great success. After the operation, I felt very cold and trembled all over. After coming out of the operating room and entering the ward, the nurse covered me with a quilt. I trembled all over for a few minutes. The doctor told me to lie flat and put a sandbag on my stomach, saying it was good for wound healing. After lying for 2 hours, the anesthetic gradually passed, and I almost fainted, especially when the doctor pressed his stomach to help drain lochia. It's really sour and cool! What a word "pain". Compared with the pain after anesthesia, it can be said that there is no pain at all during anesthesia, which is completely within our tolerance.
The first choice of anesthesia for caesarean section is "semi-anesthesia", that is, inserting a needle in the lower back to anesthetize the lower limbs. General anesthesia is only performed when certain risk factors are encountered, such as severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, severe coagulation disorder and possible intraoperative bleeding.
So does it hurt to play "semi-anesthesia" by caesarean section? I explained the operation steps of "semi-anesthesia" as I spoke.
After disinfection, the anesthesiologist will first perform local anesthesia at the puncture site with a small fine needle to eliminate the pain during the puncture afterwards. So this needle hurts a little, really only a little, slightly lighter than the infusion needle. Your back may feel a little bloated when you inject local anesthetic subcutaneously.
After subcutaneous local anesthesia, the anesthesiologist will change a thicker puncture needle for puncture. If the last step of local anesthesia is well played, then the puncture process in this step will not be painful, but it may feel bloated. Don't move even if you feel pain. Just tell the doctor in writing. Because of your action, the needle tip doesn't know where it will go, which is very dangerous! )
During the puncture, there may be a feeling that the legs are charged. Inform the anesthesiologist at this time, and they will adjust the puncture direction.
After the puncture needle arrives at the destination, the anesthesiologist will push the medicine into the spinal canal. After the puncture is completed, you are required to return to the supine position.
Then enter the anesthesia onset stage.
After a few minutes, there may be hip fever, and gradually the anus can't be closed, the legs can't be lifted, and the toes can't move.
So you can do surgery!
Therefore, the "semi-anesthesia" of smooth caesarean section or painless delivery is only a little painful when the small fine needle touches the subcutaneous local anesthesia at the beginning.
However, if the anesthetic is too strong after operation, there will be knife-edge pain. At this time, you can continue to give anesthetic through the catheter connected with "semi-anesthesia", or ask the nurse to stick an analgesic needle in the ward.
[Pay attention to the anesthesiologist Wei Du and learn about the operation]
Cesarean section, also known as cesarean section. This means that a hole needs to be cut in the pregnant woman's stomach and uterus to take the baby out of the pregnant woman's stomach. Fortunately, science is developed, otherwise this kind of operation is really unimaginable. But in any case, after all, it is a kind of operation, which requires the mother to endure certain pain.
Before cesarean section, women need anesthesia, whether it is general anesthesia or semi-anesthesia. The ultimate goal is to make the parturient no longer suffer during cesarean section. However, when playing anesthetic, will the parturient suffer? Will it hurt?
In this regard, many treasure mothers said: I didn't know at the time, I didn't feel pain, but after the anesthetic passed, I wanted to cry! According to many maternal reports, whether caesarean section is anesthesia will vary from person to person. Because caesarean section anesthesia, professionally speaking, belongs to epidural anesthesia, often in the back. Some at the back, some at the waist. Some pregnant women will feel a little, but not too painful, but there are also a few pregnant women who will feel pain, even very strong.
After the anesthesia, the operation will be carried out immediately. Wait a minute. After the anesthetic works, it will start. In fact, there are many kinds of pain. Some pregnant women are not sensitive to anesthetics, or are anti-anesthetics. After wearing it, the effect is not good. However, due to fear that the fetus will be affected by anesthesia, cesarean section is needed immediately. It is conceivable that the pain suffered by the mother at this time is unbearable for ordinary people!
Of course, lucky women will naturally have a very good anesthetic effect and completely lose the feeling of pain. But what about the laparotomy? After anesthesia, some super lucky women feel painless and groggy, and the operation has been completed. But there are some special parturients, and the effect of anesthesia is particularly fast. The operation is not completely over, but the anesthesia has passed, so some parturients are in pain when sewing.
After caesarean section, the parturient will enter the general maternity ward. Most pregnant women begin to feel the pain of caesarean section at this time.
1, the anesthesia effect completely passed after operation, and the caesarean section wound was painful.
After all, there is a very long incision on the stomach, the smallest is about 10 cm, and a very long caesarean section wound, some of which is as long as 20 cm, will come to the mother at any time a few days before healing. It is no exaggeration to use the word "through the heart" to describe it.
2, in bed, when turning over, unbearable.
A few days after cesarean section is a critical period for wound recovery. At this stage, the activities of the parturient will be affected, and the doctor will explain to the parturient what is the best posture, but it is impossible to have the same posture, which is really uncomfortable. Sometimes the parturient needs to turn over, but the pain of caesarean section wound makes the young treasure mother more painful than the old!
3, get out of bed, exhaust early, caesarean section wound hurts.
Women who have experienced it know that they must exhaust early after caesarean section, otherwise they will be in danger and can't eat. But when they get out of bed or go to the toilet, many women grin in pain. Some parturients cried in pain and needed comfort from their families.
Of course, the worst consequence is that some parturients have sequelae of caesarean section anesthesia. A very small number of parturients, because of anesthesia, cause waist muscle ligament damage, and some will have postpartum low back pain. But as long as it is not a serious problem, the low back pain will gradually ease and disappear after half a year after delivery.
It is false to say that caesarean section anesthesia doesn't hurt at all, because the anesthesia needle is different from the usual needle, the anesthesia position is different from the usual injection position, and the anesthetic liquid is different from other liquid drugs, so it will hurt more than usual injection, but overall it is tolerable, painless and painless. When anesthesia takes effect, it will be high.
The needle is thicker. The needles used for anesthesia are thicker and longer than ordinary needles, because the hardness is definitely different from ordinary needles if you want to hit the spine.
The doctor will give a small injection first, which is already a little painful. Then give a longer needle, and the doctor will push it slowly, instead of giving it like a small needle.
The process is long. The process of injection is long. Disinfection, position and posture are very complicated. I feel that there should be at least half an hour to prepare. An experienced mother knows to lie next to you and curl up in the shape of a prawn. The doctor will sterilize, pat the back, or pinch it, probably to find the insertion point. Start anesthesia when you find it. There is a feeling of bloating when you hit it, and the doctor will always ask you, "Does it hurt?" Is it disgusting? Any questions about the doctor? "Usually there is no problem.
The potion is cold. The potion is still cold, especially at first. It's very cold and a little uncomfortable. It will get better gradually.
The anesthetic takes effect quickly, and I can't feel my legs in a few minutes. The doctor will use a long pole test, from the foot to the waist, and every time he sweeps, he will ask if it hurts, and he will feel nothing.
Finally, there will be a large piece of tape on the part where the anesthetic is used. I dare to take it off every month, and I often feel some pain in my waist. But it will be fine after the second month. A friend said that it has been hurting all the time, and it may be that the confinement has not been handled properly.
Therefore, it is possible to be psychologically prepared for anesthesia. Don't be intimidated before going to the battlefield, you can still carry it.
For all expectant mothers who are preparing for caesarean section, they may be very concerned about whether caesarean section hurts or not.
Expectant mothers need to be anesthetized before caesarean section, because they are anesthetized from the spinal canal, so pregnant mothers need to set a fixed position. Because the pregnant mother has a big belly, it will have a sense of oppression on the uterus, which will make the pregnant mother uncomfortable.
Before spinal anesthesia, the skin needs local anesthesia, so pregnant mothers will feel some pain, but it is acceptable. When the anesthetic takes effect, it won't hurt, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry.
It is worth reminding that the pregnant mother must cooperate with the doctor during anesthesia, and can't move around, otherwise it will cause huge uterine contraction pain, and it will also affect the sequelae such as postpartum breastfeeding, so the pregnant mother needs to cooperate with the doctor to have a baby smoothly.
After the baby is born, the failure of anesthetic will be very painful, but this pain is also acceptable.
For some new mothers who are sensitive to pain, they can also use the hospital's analgesic pump to relieve the pain. Therefore, since the pregnant mother chooses caesarean section, she should relax and cooperate with the doctor to let the baby be born smoothly and meet her mother.
Regarding your question, let me first talk about my experience of two caesarean sections, hoping to give you the answer you want.
When I gave birth to Dabao, because I had diabetes during pregnancy, the doctor advised me to stay when the expected date of delivery arrived, otherwise the baby would be in danger in my stomach. I wanted to give birth naturally, so the doctor gave birth to me. It hurt all night and all morning, but I didn't have a natural delivery. I was in terrible pain and the fetus was not in the womb. The doctor had to make an impromptu decision to give me a caesarean section. After signing the documents provided by the hospitals in a hurry, I was pushed into the operating room. The anesthesiologist began to prepare to give me an anesthetic, and let me put my hands around my legs and curl up. Because of the unbearable pain, I tried several times and failed. I was also severely scolded by the anesthesiologist, and finally endured the severe pain and finally hugged my legs and curled up. The doctor said to tighten the waist hard, so that the spine can be more obvious and it is easy to insert needles. I feel a thick needle inserted into my spine, deep and deep, with a feeling of pain and swelling and a strong discomfort. But for me, who was suffering from severe contractions at that time, the pain was really nothing and completely acceptable. I feel that the pain of heartbreaking disappears without a trace in less than 5 minutes. At that time, I thought there was such a good medicine in the world, otherwise I really couldn't stand it. I have been in pain for more than ten hours, and I feel instantly relieved under the power of anesthetic. I feel more comfortable than ever. I can clearly hear the doctor cut my stomach with a scalpel. I still clearly remember the sound of a knife cutting meat, but I didn't feel any pain. The whole operation went smoothly, because I didn't sleep all night and almost fell asleep in the middle of the operation. That's how my first child was anesthetized. It really doesn't hurt much.
I went back to my hometown when I gave birth to my second child. Because the first child was delivered by caesarean section, I didn't consider giving birth to the second child. As soon as the due date arrived, we were ready for the operation. I was admitted to the hospital one day early, and the first operation the next morning was me. I just told myself many times before the operating room that I had experienced it once and there was nothing to be afraid of. I really went into the operating room, but I was still shaking all over, and my body kept shaking. The doctor asked me if I was cold or nervous. I think the most important thing is to be nervous. The anesthesiologist began to give me an anesthetic. At that time, I didn't know what anesthesia the anesthesiologist gave me, and I didn't feel much pain. First one leg was numb, then I lost consciousness, and then the other leg. When both legs lost consciousness, the doctor began the operation. I feel that this anesthetic is not as heavy as the first child. The doctor moved the fetus in my stomach for a while. I can clearly feel that when the doctor took the fetus out of my stomach, I felt a strong discomfort, not pain, and I couldn't help shouting. At this moment, Bauer came out. This feeling is completely absent in the first child. The first child, I don't feel anything about the doctor's actions, I can only hear the sound. In hindsight, it may be that the dosage of anesthetic was different, and the first child was cut clockwise, which was too painful at that time. I used anesthetic in this way for two caesarean sections, both of which were half-length anesthesia. The pain is there, but I can bear it.
Later, I checked the information and found that there are two kinds of anesthesia for caesarean section.
1, general anesthesia. This situation is used for critically ill pregnant women, and doctors will not choose general anesthesia unless absolutely necessary. It depends on the situation of pregnant women at that time. The parturient knows nothing about the whole process of general anesthesia operation and loses consciousness all over.
2. Regional anesthesia. Regional anesthesia is what we often call partial anesthesia. Regional anesthesia is divided into epidural anesthesia and spinal anesthesia. Regional anesthesia makes the parturient unconscious from the waist down, but conscious. The parturient can clearly know the whole process of the operation.
No matter what kind of anesthesia, anesthesia will cause discomfort and pain, but it will not be particularly painful and can be tolerated.
Hello, most caesarean sections now use combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, which is commonly known as spinal anesthesia by ordinary people. The patient was awake during the operation, but there was no pain.
Before spinal anesthesia, the anesthesiologist will inform the parturient of the relevant precautions, and the parturient needs to lie on his side and cooperate with the anesthesiologist for anesthesia.
Use a very thin injection needle before spinal anesthesia, and do local anesthesia on the local skin of the waist first. There will be a little pain when the first injection of local anesthesia is given, which is generally not obvious, and at most it is like being bitten by a mosquito.
Through this local anesthesia, you won't feel pain in the next spinal anesthesia operation. Then use a puncture needle to penetrate the locally anesthetized skin and tissue, and puncture to the epidural space layer by layer. Sometimes there is a feeling of swelling and pain when doing spinal anesthesia, but most of this pain is tolerable.
Generally speaking, the anesthesia time does not exceed 10 minutes. After the anesthesia takes effect, the parturient will not have obvious pain, and the operation will be smoother.
I hope my answer can help you!
I just had a caesarean section. I couldn't give birth to a painful half-life at that time. I just want to get the baby out of my stomach and let the doctor cut it. Cesarean section needs anesthesia. I moved from the waiting room to the operating room first. The distance in the middle included waiting for the elevator for almost four or five minutes, which made me hurt for another four or five minutes. That kind of pain lasts about fifty seconds a minute, only ten seconds to slow you down. When you get to the operating room, the doctor will first lift you to the operating table, then tie you up and ask you some questions. Caesarean section is semi-anesthetic, so you lose feeling in your lower body. You don't feel any pain when the anesthesiologist anesthetizes. After a minute or two, my stomach stopped hurting and I felt much more relaxed. Then the baby will come out in about half an hour. Anesthesia really didn't hurt as expected, but it was a natural delivery. I really admire those precious mothers who gave birth to their babies two or three days later. You're really great. Isn't the baby cut from our house cute? ...
